Benoit has a background in system reliability engineering (SRE) and ICT infrastructure operations. To bridge the gap between methods for assessing environmental footprints and the reality of digital infrastructure, he develops tools that enable the collection of granular data to inform the decision-making processes of our clients and partners. Working primarily with open source and open data, he is actively involved in documenting, analysing and publishing data to explore and explain the complexity of technological infrastructure and its impacts on the biosphere and society. This work incorporates OSINT (Open Source Intelligence) practices. He is the founder of Scaphandre and DCWatch, maintains DCFootprint and contributes to the Boagent and BoaviztAPI projects. He plays an active role in the work of the Boavizta association on various digital commons.
