About me
As a lawyer with experience building and securing applications and automations, I'm uniquely qualified to bridge the gap between legal compliance and technical implementation. I build custom software and workflows that solve bottlenecks while keeping you compliant with local and international regulations. From data security to digital infrastructure, I guide you through the complexities so you can focus on what matters.
What have I built? A variety of things, from enterprise custom software to internal tools and e-commerce platforms. Markatzy, an AI-powered platform using RAG architecture to automate trademark monitoring and legal defence. Websites for businesses of all sizes, tailored to their needs with privacy and security at the core. At Kriptos, I supported SOC 2 Type II certification by monitoring security controls and triaging vulnerabilities, then transitioned to the dev team where I delivered 37,000+ lines of production code for the Update Manager module. My toolkit? Legal expertise, experience working at the edge of what's possible with today's tech, a cybersecurity postgraduate diploma from UT Austin, software engineering and cybersecurity diplomas from BrainStation (Konrad Group), a financial accounting certificate from HBS Online, a cloud certification from AWS, ongoing training for CompTIA Security+, and an obsession with efficiency.
Outside of work, I'm an explorer and the outdoorsy type. Long-distance running, volcano hikes, and easy days at the beach with my wife.
