JD and complex systems builder.

I build systems and write about what they break. The systems are reshaping law, education, and how we read, and I'm inside each one. The throughline, if I had to name one, is the seam between things people insist on keeping separate: law and software, literature and the internet, new tools meeting old institutions.

For my day job I'm an AI Solutions Architect at Thomson Reuters, where I help attorneys and federal agencies actually use the tools reshaping their profession. On nights and weekends I build Simon, an autonomous trading system that learns from its own mistakes without lying to itself about them, and I co-founded and run The Olive Branch Review, a writing community for people who want to be read by other people, not an algorithm.
