  Welcome
 

I am a software engineer and data architect at Statistics Canada. I work for Enterprise Architecture Services developing conceptual, logical and physical UML models for enterprise metadata and master data management, schema mappings for data exchange between heterogeneous corporate information assets, canonical XML Schemas and WSDLs for enterprise Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA), Web services and data integration solutions. I also participate in the Statistics Canada Data Modeling Working Group. My previous experience spans multiple aspects of data management and data warehousing, including business intelligence, multidimensional modeling, ETL processes, data quality/cleansing, data cubes implementation, storage optimization, MDX, XML (XQuery/XPath), ontologies (RDF/OWL) and J2EE technologies.

  Short Bio
 

I received my M.Sc. degree in 2001 from the University of Toronto working under the supervision of Prof. Alberto Mendelzon. I spent 2001 as a researcher and software developer of the Department of Computer Science and Bell University Labs, and I started my Ph.D. with Prof. Mendelzon in 2002.  During 2006 and 2007 I was a visiting researcher at the IBM Center for Advanced Studies (CAS) in Toronto. I completed my Ph.D. in 2008 at the University of Toronto working under the supervision of Prof. Renée J. Miller. After graduation, I worked for three years in several R&D software projects developing data management solutions in collaboration with experts from IBM, SAP, Deutsche Welle, AFP and a number of Canadian and European universities, including the Universities of Trento, Ottawa, Carleton and British Columbia. I also served in the Program Committees of international conferences on data management, such as ACM SIGMOD, the ICDE Workshop on Data Engineering and the Semantic Web (DESWeb), and the Alberto Mendelzon Workshop (AMW). I'm currently a staff member of Enterprise Architecture Services at Statistics Canada.
