- Company:
- MigrationCounsel.com
- Areas of Interest (Robotics, Software Architecture, Green Energy, Web 2.0, etc.):
- Attorney concentrating in Immigration Law. Interested in migration and mobility issues for high-skilled workers and executives. Also interested in policy issues related to immigration and tech sector development and entrepreneurship.
- About Me:

I have met many international students who would have liked to stay in Hawaii and work after graduation, but did not manage to overcome the bureaucratic obstacles. I think it is in our Island economy's best interest to lower the barriers to high skilled, entrepreneurial in-migration.
