Open Source

My open-source work ranges from tiny utilities to full servers—always with the same goal in mind: practical building blocks for an interoperable, trusted Web.

Some of the projects I worked on:

• follow-redirects: Popular Node.js utility for following HTTP(S) redirects.

• N3.js: RDF/JS-compatible primitives for working with RDF in JavaScript.

• SPARQL.js JavaScript tooling for working with SPARQL queries.

• Community Solid Server (CSS) Modular Solid server for personal data pods and interoperable data spaces.

• Web Fundamentals Open lecture slides for the Web Development course at Ghent University.

My GitHub profile reflects my long-standing curiosity: from experimenting with lightweight RDF parsers to building modular servers for data. Over more than 20 years of open source, I’ve worked on projects spanning from small utilities—like follow-redirects—which sees over 200 million downloads each month—to large, collaborative platforms such as the Community Solid Server.

You’ll find a blend of tools, teaching materials, and infrastructure, shaped by real-world needs and a belief in open collaboration. I’ve aimed to make it easy to understand not just how something works, but how it fits into a broader ecosystem where decentralization, interoperability, and human agency matter. Contributions often come through small improvements or meaningful discussions, more like shared progress than polished showcases.
