Dan Temkin

Dan Temkin is a Senior Technical Product Marketing Manager at Kong (formerly Mashape), one of the world's leading API management platforms. With over a decade of experience in API strategy spanning roles at IBM and Kong, Temkin sits at the intersection of complex distributed systems and the business language needed to explain them. Based in Madison, Wisconsin, he shapes how enterprises think about API security, AI governance, and the economics of running LLMs at scale - authoring widely-read Kong blog posts, speaking at Apidays and AWS re:Invent, and helping translate the architecture of Kong's $424M-funded platform into decisions that matter to engineering and executive teams alike.
