Phillip Engel is a data architect and engineer with 11+ years focused on financial information modeling, XBRL taxonomy architecture, and end-to-end data workflow design. He has led development of the US GAAP taxonomy and other regulatory taxonomies, created a DSL-driven business rules framework for XBRL report validation, and built a repository used by analysts, aggregators, and government agencies. Known for translating complex technical standards into practical business solutions, he authored parts of the global XBRL specification and contributed to ISO standards while working across industry and international working groups. A pragmatic hands-on coder with deep SQL and ELT experience, he pairs solutions architecture with data standards development to improve data quality and interoperability. His background includes R&D leadership at KPMG, consulting for major financial institutions, and long-term stewardship at XBRL US, reflecting both technical depth and policy-level influence. Based in Avensac, France, he combines global perspective with a knack for turning regulatory complexity into automated, auditable data processes.
