About Me ✨
I'm a tech lawyer in training, currently working towards my qualification as a solicitor in London. I plan to have a wide practice, exploring how existing legal principles across contract, tort, and intellectual property hold up against novel scenarios created by new technologies and, in particular, artificial intelligence. I have been lucky to study at some of the best Universities in the world; the variety of my training (in political science, law, creative writing, and psychology) helps me bring a unique multi-disciplinary perspective to my work.
I see myself as a bit of a jack of all trades and this extends to my creative practice. I'm a trained dancer, singer and pianist, and in the past 5 years have been working on my writing and photography skills. I don't see a divide between my intellectual and creative sides and want to build a life where the two fuel each other.
Outside of work, you'll catch me supporting Liverpool Football Club, watching movies (check out my Letterboxd), and travelling back and forth between Mumbai, London, and San Francisco.
