About

As a developer for the past few years, I’ve been interested in one question: how to give users back control over their data. I’m exploring existing solutions that pursue this goal, including digital identity, Personal Data Stores (PDS), and dataspaces.

From a technical standpoint, I subscribe to the concept of conviviality as described by Ivan Illich:

“Tools foster conviviality to the extent to which they can be easily used, by anybody, as often or as seldom as desired, for the accomplishment of a purpose chosen by the user. The use of such tools by one person does not restrain another from using them equally. They do not require previous certification of the user. Their existence does not impose any obligation to use them. They allow the user to express his meaning in action.”

Ivan Illich, Tools for Conviviality, 1973.

I believe that artificial intelligence can also be a convivial tool.
