Alejandro Vera-Baquero Ph.D.
I'm a Senior Software Engineer and a Researcher with a passion for innovative technologies that can be applied to R&D projects. I'm an advocate of open source projects and I am constantly looking for new opportunities to run applied research on innovative software systems and solutions that can make a real impact on business value and society. I have a special interest in high-available and fault-tolerant distributed systems that work at massive scale with a special focus on Cloud-Computing & Big Data arenas. A more detailed information around my research profile can be found at the research and publication sections.

Research
My research interest lays in the wide areas of Enterprise Information Systems and Software Architectures in general. Particulary, I'm interested in running applied research over innovative solutions and systems that make use of cutting-edge technologies to bring value-added services to corporations. My most recent research activities have been focused on building technological approaches for optimizing business processes on big data domains by monitoring and analysing their execution paths in or near real-time. This narrows down the most up-to-date research fields to Cloud Computing and Big Data arenas with a special emphasis on emerging topics such as IoT and Smart Cities. Further information is outlined below and a list of related works carried out on those fields can be found at the publications section.
