Hajri: Uh, yeah, so that has been quite a long journey. It started in 2016 with my undergrad in international relations. This sounds really cliche, but I really wanted to change the world. And I think that as a political scientist you know only want to change the world for your own sake, but you also want others to understand society better so that it becomes a collective burden. And so you know you're like exposed to different viewpoints, experiences, cultures which somehow gives you like a broader field of vision on the world, and as the world is becoming more globalized and interconnected, I felt like technology's role is becoming more and more evident and it isn't only like helping this interconnectedness, but it's also furthering widening like it's widening certain gaps that are already existing within society and in my last year of my undergrad, I went on an exchange in China, Beijing and that is basically where my passion started to develop for the intersection between more human rights and technology obviously because there you're like subjected to oppression on this technological perspective and yeah, I really wanted to understand this technical perspective as well.
