International trade lawyer.
I am a trade lawyer working on trade in services, free trade agreements and trade policy. Currently, as an Associate at WTI Advisors, I analyse domestic regulations on services trade, helping businesses and policymakers to understand the market access requirements across countries and service sectors.
I am curious about regional trade integration, trade in services, and the policy questions on artificial intelligence and the related supply chain and economic security issues. On the side, I am teaching myself data analysis to visualise the patterns behind trade.
