I am a computer scientist, a software developer and an entrepreneur living in Quebec City, QC, Canada.
I am the CTO and co-founder of Structured Dynamics LLC, a provider of professional linked data services for the semantic Web. I co-founded Zitgist LLC in 2006 and as been its chief technology officer until 2008.

I am also participating in academic and open-source projects and communities such as: the Linked Open Data Community, Yago and OpenCyc. I also give feedback and suggestions to smaller semantic Web-related projects.
I am a man of ideas with technical knowledge.
My professional interests are various and principally in relation with socio-technological problems and communication, including: Semantic Web projects development and integration, ontology development and maintenance, inter-linkage of unrelated data sources, Internet technologies, user interfaces and user interactions, electronic commerce, social software, artificial intelligence, computer security, networks and social interactions.
