Trained in both US and Chinese law, I have spent a over a decade bridging two legal systems, two cultures, and two regulatory worlds, advising multinational companies on their most complex cross-border challenges: corruption issues, money laundering exposure, sanctions risk, and export controls, with a focus on China and the broader APAC region. Now I am bringing AI into that space - rethinking, refining, and redesigning how cross-border investigations and compliance work gets done. Starting from zero programming background but with a fully activated inner nerd , I have moved from prompt engineering and deploying AI agents for my professional and personal lives to building full-stack, API-integrated legal tools with real databases, streaming outputs, multi-step agentic workflows, and persistent case file architecture. The legal logic embedded in these tools reflects over a decade of practice. My work sits at the intersection of US-APAC legal expertise and hands-on AI adoption. I share what I learn and build and am always interested in connecting with other like-minded practitioners!
