Duke Dorje
Duke is a distributed systems engineer working on the IdentiKey Network, a socio-technical stack designed to create the conditions for everyone to be able to realize their creative potential and more fully express their innate gifts. As an engineer, Duke has worked on cryptography at PGP, payments and encryption at Amazon, large-scale infrastructure for Playstation Network, etc.
He has led teams working on non-custodial wallet and key management systems for Nasdaq Private Markets, Holochain, and Good Money Bank, and founded Resource Network, launching a mutual credit cryptocurrency exchange network to real-world businesses. He helped draft the initial spec that became the DID identity standard, and is building a set of distributed network protocols to enable P2P digital sovereignty for anyone and everyone, so we can use the internet together without the weird karma and onerous techno-feudal authority structures.
His mission is to bring non-coercive collaborative models of work and co-creation into the world.

The internet is built on centralizing assumptions that create an asymmetric power imbalance, used to great effect by Big Tech, but generally to the detriment of our freedom, power to choose, and ability to maintain strong stewardship of our own data. We will demo IdentiKey's new mesh routers & symmetric P2P protocols, talk about cryptographic keys for identity, and how to reclaim digital sovereignty today.
