| SWITCH, Switzerland | Programme Manager doing mainly identity stuff these days. With SWITCH for almost 3 decades. Prepare for things that might make it into production - or not. But preferably early enough to not get inadvertently overtaken by events and be ready to take informed decisions. | After two decades doing identity federations and more than one decade doing interfederation our community has achieved quite an impressive global identity infrastructure with an impressive governance framework to keep things going. "Distributed Identities", SSI and eID are the new kids on the block. They can either steal is the show and make us redundant or we can show them that it is much more fun to re-use our stuff and takes them further. I favour the latter. And would like to contribute to make it happen. | Cycling for fun and mobility | Mostly around for the rest of the year | |

As said, I mostly work on new stuff at SURF, trying to get some bearing on the usability and impact of wallets & SSI for our institutions and services. | Singing in a chamber choir and playing with all domotics mostly with the aim of getting my house and family more sustainable. | No big plans for the rest of the year so I should be available. |
