Hello! I’m Janis and I’m passionate about making data protection, ethics, and governance work for you by exploring legal, socio-technical, and policy solutions. Find out more about my work below and on my About page.
I hold an interdisciplinary PhD in Computer Science on co-creating data protection solutions through a commons, which was awarded the Stefano Rodotà Award by the Council of Europe for best data protection thesis.
I am always looking for new opportunities to help individuals and organisations make responsible and ethical data governance a reality, so please do get in touch!
