Former lawyer. Builder. Teacher.
I learn technology
by building with it.
Then I teach it.
Nineteen years in legal, then applied AI. I write a weekly newsletter for 22,000+ professionals, build in public, and run working sessions for people who want the machine doing real work by Friday.
Tuesday Learn issue. Friday build. Everything here is free to read. The paid work is on the work page.
The loop, this week
01
Learn
Agent skills are plain-language files you own. Every major platform now reads them.
02
Use
Hand your Friday status report to the model, with a source on every line.
03
Build
Save the prompt as a skill named Friday report, then schedule it.
Not three stages. One loop. The newsletter runs it every week; the site keeps what survives.

Three doors, one practice
Writing
The workflow, the code,
and the decision.
Tuesday gives you a way to think about what changed. Friday gives you something to run before the week is out. Full text, tables, and copyable code live here. The email carries the same words to your inbox.
3% Lost a Job to AI. 9% Got Promoted due to AI.
A sociologist asked 1,250 workers what AI actually did to their jobs. The answer fits in three numbers, and they aren't what most people are expecting.

From git init to the Chrome Web Store: How I Built My Own Legal Ops Extension (and How You Can Build Yours)
Builds
I teach from
the work I build.
Each build has a repository or a live tool, a write-up when one exists, and a slot for the demo video. Independent projects, not client work.
02Chrome extension
Legal Ops Maestro
Operations tracking that lives where your team already works. A Chrome extension, so there is nothing to install on a server and nothing leaves the browser. Maps the work to the CLOC Core 12 and turns it into a shareable picture of demonstrated skill.

03Editorial sparring partner
Aleph
A sparring partner for what I publish. Everything I read, save, and think about goes in. What comes out is a shortlist of what is worth writing, with the sources attached. The writing is still mine.
Private repository. Write-up coming.
nodecloudflareeditorial judgment
Work with me
Three ways in,
in order of depth.
Learn for free. Use what I build. Bring me a real problem when you want it built with you in the room.
01
Working session
Build one workflow with me.
Ninety minutes on your tools, on your work. You leave with the workflow running and a page describing what we did.
Take away
One working workflow and its written recipe.
02
Executive program
Hands-on AI training for senior professionals.
For one senior person who needs to choose valuable problems, judge the output, and lead adoption. Program pages for private equity and legal.
Take away
A use-case brief, a working prototype, a pilot charter.
03
Consulting
Lumen Atlas.
Consulting for legal and operations teams. Inbound only. Transformation work for legal and operations teams that already know what they want to change.
Take away
The system, the controls, and the people who can run it.
