I'm a recent graduate of an IT (computer science) and Law double degree at QUT in Brisbane, Australia. I'm interested broadly in software and solving problems using programming and computation. While I don't see myself becoming a lawyer, I am interested in opportunities to combine my fields and work in areas such as copyright/IP law, internet law, and privacy. New areas of technology with potential for disruption and in need of new policy and regulation are also a source of interest; as is innovation and emerging technology in the legal industry.
