About

I’m building LawEngine to help lawyers turn primary law into source-backed legal work product they can trust, verify, and use for stronger client advocacy. Legal AI should not just produce polished language. It should show its work: the authority, the quote, the citation, the source text, and the evidence trail behind the answer. LawEngine is focused on workflows where that matters most — research, citation verification, quote checking, argument development, and strategy support grounded in actual primary law. My background is in data systems, analytics, commercial operations, and applied AI. I’ve built forecasting workflows for large commercial teams, designed global commission structures, and served as the business/technical translator for an AI-driven pricing product during Hubs’ $330M acquisition. I also build directly: I recently won First Place in Google’s Kaggle Gemma 3n Impact Challenge by deploying a fully offline voice AI on constrained edge hardware. I care less about AI "theater" and more about systems that help people make better decisions under pressure at stakes. For LawEngine, that means giving legal professionals better tools to find the right authority, verify the words, understand the strategy, and fight more effectively for their clients or themselves.
