Amit Datta is currently building Centaur Privacy, an automated privacy engineering platform for software teams moving at AI-accelerated speed. Centaur helps builders and coding agents understand privacy implications early, turn regulatory and architectural context into product and code-level guidance, and verify that intended protections make it into production.
Previously, Amit worked in privacy engineering functions at Amazon and Snap. Across those roles, he translated legal and regulatory requirements into engineering systems, designed privacy-preserving architectures for ads, recommendations, data governance, and user engagement, and led privacy engineering teams through high-scale product reviews and platform changes.
Amit received his PhD from Carnegie Mellon University and his B.Tech in Computer Science and Engineering from IIT Kharagpur.
Amit remains active in the professional community as a Program Committee member for the USENIX Conference on Privacy Engineering Practice and Respect (PEPR).
