Motivation

I am interested in the intersection of urban strategy and technology. I developed an expertise in urban design in Lithuania and Italy, followed by an internship in Great Britain. My interest in technology led me to a master’s degree at the Institute of Catalonia where I created urban strategies based on big data for Barcelona and Shanghai. Inspired by the potential of digital technologies and the desire to apply it in my home country, the decision to return to Lithuania came naturally: here, the private sector is prepared to utilise the power of technologies and the public sector is just a few steps away.
