Problems I solve

Organizations want to use data. Privacy requirements make it complex.

Organizations increasingly rely on data for research, AI, and innovation.
However, sharing or using data often involves significant privacy risks.
Simply removing names or direct identifiers is rarely sufficient.
Even datasets that appear anonymized may still allow individuals to be re-identified.
Understanding and mitigating these risks requires specialized expertise.
