Bio

Been coding since the age of 9. Went to Harvard Law because I liked law too. Represented startup companies at Fenwick & West for 2 years, but decided I'd rather actually build things. Switched back to engineering in 2013. Got really into deep learning in 2014. Been at the intersection of law and AI ever since at Casetext (YC13, exited to Thomson Reuters in '23), and at Meta.
