I build backend and systems software in Rust and Python. Tools that handle real data, enforce real constraints, and hold up under real use.

My background is classical CS training and over a decade practicing law — IP, technology, compliance, and federal litigation across the US. That's where I learned to think about failure modes, regulatory constraints, and the distance between what a spec says and what users actually need.

I've designed database schemas for HIPAA compliance products, built REPL pipelines that replaced manual document review for federal litigation teams, and developed a strong opinion that Tiger Style, based on the Power of Ten, has the right idea about how software should be written.
