Niko Bonnieure, NextGraph.org
Niko Bonnieure is a software engineer specialized in encryption, local-first and linked data technologies. After working in big data startups for several years, and following the Snowden revelations in 2013, he decided to quit those jobs and dedicate his time to building a decentralized platform for malleable apps based on graph databases. He then added CRDTs to the mix to solve consistency issues in P2P setting, and E2EE to preserve privacy.
Niko is a strong advocate for Digital Sovereignty in Europe.

NextGraph is an open source ecosystem providing solutions for end-users (a platform) and software developers (a framework/SDK), wishing to use or create decentralized apps featuring: live collaboration on rich-text and JSON documents, a sync protocol with end-to-end encryption, local-first based on CRDTs (it works offline too), portable and interoperable data, with high availability.
NextGraph guarantees security, privacy and sovereignty, with total ownership of data and software, and full control over locality: we know where the data is stored, and where the automatic encrypted backups are.
