Andrea Ferraris is a PhD fellow and legal consultant with nine years' experience at the intersection of data protection, privacy, IT contracts, and IP for start-ups and SMEs. Currently based in Brussels and affiliated with Vrije Universiteit Brussel and Università di Torino, he builds machine learning tools (PARASOL) to help businesses comply with EU digital regulation while researching deep learning applications in legal tech. He balances academic teaching in privacy law with hands-on legal consulting and security-minded experimentation—self-described as a wannabe security researcher interested in bugs, kernel work and reverse engineering. Andrea’s background combines magna cum laude legal training, postgraduate coding-for-lawyers education, and multidisciplinary collaboration across law, computer science and statistics, enabling pragmatic solutions that bridge legal nuance and technical risk.
