My academic background includes a Master in Information Technology from Harvard University, the Common Professional Examination in Law, the Legal Practice Course and a Master of Laws from The University of Law, London, a Diploma in Communications from MIT and a degree from the London School of Economics and Political Sciences. These experiences have been fundamental in shaping my understanding and approach to the interplay between technology and law.
