I'm an attorney and systems strategist working at the intersection of legal operations, risk management, and professional responsibility. Having worked in the legal profession since my undergraduate years, my career has spanned complex litigation, corporate finance, legal ethics, and technological innovation. With more than a decade of experience practicing in Am Law 100 firms, my work has focused on managing institutional risk while ensuring that legal and ethical obligations remain fundamental to an evolving legal profession.

Currently, I serve as a Conflicts Attorney at Ashurst Perkins Coie, helping protect the firm's institutional integrity by identifying, assessing, and resolving risks before they compromise client relationships, legal matters, or professional obligations. The role requires synthesizing complex data, understanding how various practice groups, matters, and business relationships intersect, and recognizing patterns that may indicate conflicts or broader risk exposure. It also demands decisive communication with attorneys and business professionals, sound judgment under time constraints, and the discernment to resolve issues efficiently while protecting the interests of clients and the firm.

My interest in legal innovation developed alongside my practice. At King & Spalding, I co-led one of Big Law's early AI incubator initiatives, applying machine learning to securitization due diligence, reducing client legal spend by up to 50% and driving repeat engagements for the firm. That experience led to my work at Luminance, where I advised law firms on AI adoption and the integration of emerging technologies into established legal workflows.

Building on these experiences, I founded The Recurial Codex™, a research initiative examining the ethical and institutional implications of artificial intelligence in legal practice. Through research and writing on AI hallucinations, professional liability, informed consent, provenance and emerging standards of accountability, I explore how technological innovation challenges established frameworks of professional responsibility and the governance structures supporting them.

I believe the future of legal practice will depend on institutions that can embrace innovation while building the policies, processes, and governance structures necessary to make professional accountability sustainable at scale.
