Summary
Macrae Linton is a pragmatic engineering leader with 17 years of experience building reliable, privacy-focused systems and shipping production software. As Head of Software at Confident Security he leads engineering while architecting a novel private AI inference stack that combines TEEs and vTPMs to cryptographically prove user privacy. He favors compartmentalized architectures, API-focused testing, and CI-driven deployments that deliver a fully running app for every PR.
