Trial attorney · AI systems builder · former conflict-zone paramedic
I run local LLMs on a multi-node Linux cluster, much to my wife's annoyance. During the day, I'm a medical malpractice litigator in the busiest court system in the US with a side hustle as an international law attorney. Before law school I worked on a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers project in northern Afghanistan, and ran medical operations in besieged Sarajevo, as well as medical, security and safety consulting in dozens of other countries in the Mid-East, Africa and Asia for the oil and gas and construction industries. These facts are connected. I've spent a lot of time in situations that make me wonder why people I've never met want to shoot me so badly. Usually, that only happens after they've known me for awhile.

My interest in machine learning isn't a recent professional pivot — it's the endpoint of a lifelong obsession that started with science fiction. Heinlein's self-aware systems, Asimov's Three Laws and their elegant failure modes, Gerrold's HARLIE grappling with consciousness in real time, Daniel Keys Moran's AIs navigating a surveillance state, Iain Banks's Culture Minds running post-scarcity civilization at inhuman scale — I've always been fascinated by the idea of AI, but never thought I would live to see the day they actually become reality. Running local models isn't a hobby; it's the part where the fiction starts to have a pulse.
A decade as a medic and security consultant took me to northern Afghanistan (U.S. ACE Tajikistan-Afghanistan Bridge Project, Kunduz border region), Sakhalin Island, Angola, offshore Nigeria, Pakistan, and the Balkans — including medical operations in besieged Sarajevo and Mostar during the Bosnian War. 911 and critical care flight paramedic in the Southwest USA and at Ft. Bliss Army Base EMS. Then: JD at UNM, federal judicial extern, trial attorney in Chicago trying complex medical malpractice cases.
Now I build legal AI tooling, run Linux clusters, and look for opportunities at the intersection of law, AI, and operational reality.
