Blockchain & Fintech Senior Legal Counsel
Lawyer by training, builder by instinct: Crypto counsel building tools that think like a lawyer
I build and shape the legal function within the world’s largest independent crypto data aggregator, CoinGecko. My role spans the full legal spectrum, from drafting and product counselling to regulatory compliance and legal operations, where efficiency and clarity are critical to supporting a fast-moving business in the ever-evolving web3 space. Operating at this intersection, I’ve learned that traditional legal approaches alone are not enough. Working smart is not optional, it’s essential. That’s where AI and systems thinking come in. Inspired by our product and engineering teams, I began vibecoding as a way to better understand how they think and to speak their language more effectively. What started as a learning exercise has since evolved into building tools of my own, bridging legal judgment with product thinking. Today, I’m developing solutions ranging from crypto analytics tools (such as token pump detection models built on multiple data signals) to applications that assist with contract review and redlining. More broadly, I’m focused on creating tools that help individuals and businesses navigate the rapidly evolving regulatory and industry landscape in crypto and fintech. My goal is simple: to turn legal from a reactive function into a scalable, productised system—one that enables better, faster, and more informed decisions.
💡 The problem We’ve all been here: - seeing “in accordance with applicable law” everywhere… but which law exactly? - receiving a contract flooded with redlines with zero explanation - spending days going back and forth, trying to reverse-engineer the counterparty’s rationale then, drafting cross-border contracts while constantly switching between Word and browser tabs worrying we’ve missed something critical I built ClauseWise to tackle exactly these. ⚖️ It helps you: - identify which laws actually apply to your deal - surface relevant regulatory frameworks, including extra-territorial regimes - understand the legal basis and market practice behind clauses - clearly distinguish governing law vs independent regulatory obligations In short, it lays the legal and regulatory foundation for you, so you can negotiate with clarity and confidence. 👩⚖️ Who is this for? - corporate counsel reviewing redlines or drafting agreements - lawyers adapting templates across jurisdictions - anyone who wants to sanity-check if their clauses align with applicable laws As a former dispute lawyer, I would have loved this (especially to cross-check whether my pleadings comply with both substantive and procedural law) to avoid technical mistakes that could get a case struck out from the outset - who knows, we might roll out a separate feature catered to dispute lawyers in my v2 😉 Feel free to try it out here: clause-wise.replit.app
