Our founder Simon Worthington takes part in a Compute Over Data Working Group live stream, joining Ally Haire and Kartika Chendorain from the FileCoin Ecosystem and Luke Marsden from Lilypad for a session on federated learning, compute use cases and engineering challenges.

Simon Worthington leads this session at the WebAssembly conference WASM I/O 2023, Barcelona. He tells us the story of how to build a distributed global computer and how it is being implementing in the Bacalhau Project.

Simon Worthington discusses WASM and pipeline support in Bacalhau at the Compute over Summit in Lisbon, Portugal held in November 2022. He explains how it is possible to run the Bacalhau Project distributed compute jobs in space, in a forest and on your smart fridge!

Simon discusses his project Personal Data Exchange: a data sharing federation that makes personal data sharing for government services easier, more private and more secure. It aims to make what one department knows available to another department’s service, sharing only what needs to be known for eligibility and making sure citizen data isn’t used for any other purpose. It provides audited, compliant, privacy-preserving and useful data access everywhere, both online and for staff.

Lots of organisations are on a data transformation journey. Most organisations first try to start their data architecture from the middle – but this comes with its own problems. In a talk for ODI Fridays, Simon explains how to find the architecture, untangle it and make it useful for everyone – including why doing it saves you time and money and lets new innovation happen.
