Arne Hassel is a senior JavaScript developer working with inrupt to bring the Solid project to the mainstream. Focusing mostly on front-end technologies, he’s taken the leap into the world of semantic web technologies, with old and proven – but still somewhat scary or simply unknown for developers – standards such as RDF and linked data. He thinks Solid can revolutionize the world for the better, with focus on interoperability and democratizing data.
Solid was created by the inventor of the World Wide Web, Sir Tim Berners-Lee. Its mission is to reshape the web as we know it. Solid will foster a new breed of applications with capabilities above and beyond anything that exists today.
Inrupt is a startup with the main goal of developing Solid and create new opportunities to application and business developers. It was co-founded by CEO John Bruce and CTO Sir Tim Berners-Lee.
