About

German-based Data Protection, AI, IT & EU Digital regulations lawyer. Learned my legal craft at big law firms before going in-house as Senior Legal Counsel — first at a tech company, now at a major software company. Alongside that, I run a boutique practice where I combine traditional advisory with proprietary AI-powered legal tech tools I build myself. Started building out of necessity. Stayed for the vibe coding. My focus: vertical, domain-specific workflows and 'skills' that power up privacy, AI Act, and EU digital compliance work — built by a practitioner, for practitioners and legal teams.

Philosophy

"Domain expertise is the moat. The code is just the vehicle."

Legal AI without legal domain expertise is just a very confident hallucination machine.

"The most career-defining legal skill in 2026 isn't a new certification — it's learning Claude Code."
