I am a Information and Communication Technology professional and I have been active in this area since 1985.
Started as a freelance consultant with the development of business applications for personal productivity and small enterprises. Then I evolved into more sophisticated businesses in computing technology.
After six years of IT consulting, I came back to study and I earned a M.Sc. and a Ph.D. in Computer and Information Science.
After that, I re-oriented my profession towards academy and research, but without stopping to look at ICT in real markets.
My research interests span from theoretical computer science (Programming Theory, Computational Logics, Formal Methods, and Artificial Intelligence) to more applied fields such as Data Mining, Computational Linguistics, Human-Computer Interaction, Web, Multimedia and Ubiquitous Computing.
I consider myself a good teacher and I started this activity very early in 1987 in adult education. At university level, I have been charged of teaching several courses in computer science and been invited as guest lecturer in conferences tutorials.
Currently, I am trying to leverage the research I have done in Human-Language Technology to build an innovative Business Intelligence product for dealing with unstructured language data in form of interactions (conversations).
I am the co-founder of InterAnalytics. I am the co-founder of ThinkServices. I am a co-founder of the Switzerland ISOC chapter (in formation).
