Son of an programmer who could never quite get coding and instead made a career of being a lawyer who understands tech. With vibe coding, I've finally crossed the chasm and am thrilled with the possibilities. At work, I've built local and Backstage-hosted applications for use by in-house colleagues and thought deeply about build-versus-buy in the AI era. Outside of work, I've taught law students on advising tech product development teams, contributed to a book on the topic ("Advise, Innovate, and Inspire"), and am engaged with legal tech open source.
