About
I've held several different positions in my prosecutor, software engineer, staff attorney, and general counsel.
I have helped start up companies save money, won jury trials, and reported a security breach in bar exam software to the State Bar of California. My passions are to help bring excellent products to market, zealous advocacy, and quality teamwork.
