Privacy advocate and caffeine addict. Eight years in cybersecurity spent chasing one question: who owns your data? Kaden takes apart the systems, AI models, and everyday devices that quietly collect it — then explains what he finds in plain language, with a rare talent for making dense technical material make sense to anyone, not just other engineers. He speaks on privacy and security at conferences nationwide and leads the Compact's technology and research work, translating technical findings into the kind of evidence-based reporting the Compact is known for.
