About Me
I’m Ali Mehraj, a doctoral researcher from Tampere University. I have been working on different research projects for a few years now and only recently started my doctoral studies. Additionally, I have over 6 years of software development experience in different industries such as, telecommunications, software consultancy, and banking. Currently my research is focused on incorporating regulatory concerns in software architecture.
