Mike Hearn is a programmer extrordinaire, an early Bitcoin contributor, who joined R3 to take distributed ledger technology to its next logical level and (alongside Richard Gendal Brown and James Carlyle) created Corda. Today the main thing taking up Mike's time is bullet-proofing Conclave, the everyman's confidential computing solution and R3s new product.
