Programmer, Designer, Advocate
I am a creative person who graduated in a technical field and has learned the importance of functionality as well as the prominence of an aesthetic image. I started off in middle school by taking my first steps into the world of graphic design. Eventually, my journey took me into the vast and diverse world of computer science, information technology, and innovation through information.
After several years working as a programmer and designer, I now have found my way into the law field, where my interests lie in the field of patent law and the intersection of human ingenuity and agency in the face of emerging technologies.
