## About

```text
At ELAI, I built a RAG and frontier-model API architecture for an AI-native legal contract platform, and work daily in the codebase with Claude Code alongside a technical co-founder. I designed clause-level metadata for a 15-contract-type template library spanning 27+ jurisdictions, and set human-in-the-loop safeguards for contract renewal and renegotiation.

At Raiku Labs, I lead MiCAR whitepaper drafting and coordinate legal, product and engineering work for the mainnet launch and $RAIKU token issuance. Previously at Arweave and ING Group (Lendico), I designed compliance programmes, screening workflows and audit trails across jurisdictions, and served as a Data Protection Officer.
