Tech Lead @Qwant.com working on privacy focused projects. Former @MIT and @W3C. Blockchain enthusiast. Qwant Pierre and Marie Curie University Paris 16, Île-de-France, France Hi! My name is Andrei and I am the technical lead for a privacy focused project at Qwant.com. My work revolves around anything that has to do with privacy and decentralization, ranging from identity and authentication, to access control and data ownership. In the past at MIT, together with Prof. Tim Berners-Lee, I lead a really cool project that aims to radically change the way Web applications work today, resulting in true data ownership as well as improved privacy. You can learn more about it at https://solid.mit.edu. I also am a former W3C team member. There I participated in Web standards work on topics around identity, authentication and also Semantic Web technologies such as LDP and LDPatch. You will find more details in the Activity section below.
