Summary
My purpose is to inspire human beings to break free from imposed molds and help them achieve success in their lives, defining it by their sensitivity and ability to help others reach their goals, thus building a more cooperative and less competitive present and future.
I build bridges between law, technology, and innovation. I provide solutions to legal problems in the digital world and also assist stakeholders in the privacy ecosystem to find original, innovative, and creative solutions to their needs.
I help democratize knowledge about the intersection of privacy, law and technology.
