Personal

I am fascinated by the collision of law and technology; namely, how well older regulations are applied to new innovations and what new challenges the world will present to us. I firmly believe that without effective regulation, we will not be able to cope with our ever-evolving technological environment.
In addition to my legal work, I teach at a number of universities, create my own courses and author publications. I am certified in Agile, ITIL Prince and Cordon Blue.

Leisure

When I have time, I travel and cook.
