This week, I chat with Jake Ward, the Co-Founder and CEO of Data Protocol, to discuss how the Data Protocol platform supports developers' accountability for privacy by giving developers the relevant information in the way that they want it. Throughout the episode, we cover the Privacy Engineering course offerings and certification program; how to improve communication with developers; and trends that Jake sees across his customers after 2 years of offering these courses to engineers.
In our conversation, we dive into the topics covered in the Privacy Engineering Certification Program course offering , led by instructor Nishant Bhajaria, and the impact that engineers can make in their organization after completing it. Jake shares why he's so passionate about empowering developers, enabling them to build safer products. We talk about the effects of privacy engineering on large tech companies and how to bridge the gap between developers and the support they need with collaboration and accountability. Plus, Jake reflects on his own career path as the Press Secretary for a U.S. Senator and the experiences that shaped his perspectives and brought him to where he is now.
