Work

Selected work in legal software, AI, and research.

Products & systems

  • 2022—

    Tilt Legal

    co-founder & CTO

    I co-founded Tilt Legal and lead product and engineering. I've built legal software with Australian and UK legal teams and taken products from concept to paid use.

  • 2022—

    Mobius

    agents, evaluation & product

    Mobius is Tilt Legal's AI platform for legal work. I lead development of long-running agents that use tools and sandboxed environments to examine documents and produce analysis with sources for lawyer review, and the evaluation harnesses that check legal meaning, evidence, citations, process, and lawyer oversight together. I also led its re-architecture around Effect, a TypeScript library, so people and coding agents can make safe, testable changes. Mobius was selected for the 2025 cohort of Lander & Rogers' LawTech Hub.

  • client work

    HERO

    regulatory data & delivery

    Through Tilt Legal, I worked on HERO with Herbert Smith Freehills Kramer: a regulatory data platform that turns AASB S2, ESRS, and related ESG reporting frameworks into a structured model lawyers can maintain as the rules change. The team delivered a working MVP in three months and onboarded the first paying client in six; major ASX 100 organisations now use it.

    CSRD Mapper

    rules engine & legal logic

    A separate Herbert Smith Freehills Kramer project. I translated rules about jurisdiction, corporate structure, entity classification, ownership, and exceptions into testable decision logic with legal explanations.

  • 2026

    Legal Aid MCP

    civic legal information

    I converted Victoria Legal Aid information into a structured Markdown corpus and built an MCP server over it with search, page listing, and content retrieval, plus a proxy for public HTML. It is exploratory work on making public legal information easier for people and AI systems to use.

Research & writing

  • 2020—22

    Smart legal contracts

    research & legal engineering

    At Monash and in the Digital Law Group, I researched how software can represent legal rights and obligations, and what happens when its behaviour differs from the contract's meaning.

  • 2020—22

    Accord Project

    prototype

    I built an executable asset-sale agreement prototype with the Accord Project: a natural-language template, a Concerto typed model, and Ergo logic for the agreement's behaviour.

  • 2017—22

    Monash & LSE

    research essays & coursework

    At Monash, I built and evaluated machine-learning models for cancer-tissue images and created interactive data visualisations. During LSE's Cyberlaw summer school, I researched data-localisation policies, weighing privacy and security aims against costs, competition, and the needs of digital services.

    invited panellist

    I joined the Victorian Bar's AI & Legal Practice: Practicalities, Challenges & New Horizons symposium at Koiki Mabo Chambers, alongside the Victorian Legal Services Commissioner, senior counsel, and legal technologists, to discuss the practical uses and limits of AI in legal work.

  • 2019—22
