Daniel Reichert
Daniel Reichert is a cybersecurity engineer with over a decade of experience in cryptography, security architecture, and the governance of large-scale digital systems. At LinkedIn, his work focused on how security and trust are designed into infrastructure through standards, controls, and system architecture. Over time, he has seen how those technical choices shape organizational behavior and risk. His work has increasingly operated at the intersection of hands-on engineering and institutional decision-making.
Daniel's policy focus centers on identifying where technical complexity limits accountability and weakens meaningful oversight. He is particularly concerned with systems that enable surveillance, data misuse, or opaque decision-making without clear boundaries or public understanding. He works to help policymakers see how technical design choices shape authority and responsibility, and where targeted guardrails can restore transparency and control.
Daniel holds a B.S. in Computer Science from Oregon State University. As a Congressional Innovation Fellow, he brings his technical background to support legislative and oversight work, helping bridge complex technical systems and practical policymaking.
