Chair: Jesse Wright
Jesse Wright is a passionate advocate for a Web that empowers individuals by giving them control over their own data. With a commitment to open-source and community-driven technology, Jesse has contributed significantly to the development and deployment of Solid.
Jesse’s work on Solid spans several years, encompassing both volunteer and professional contributions to the project. He has developed and maintained a variety of libraries essential to the Semantic Web and Solid ecosystems, including eye-js, shaclcjs, N3.js, LDflex, and Comunica.
