⚖️ About Me

I'm a law graduate who taught myself to code after watching lawyers manually retype the same clauses for the hundredth time — I build tools that sit exactly between legal practice and software: contract generators, document trackers, small internal apps that save people from doing the boring part twice.

Finishing my law degree in Saint Petersburg while working as a freelance legal engineer, and looking for a place where those two skill sets get to work together for real.

100% REMOTE  ·  FULL-TIME OR 6+ MONTH PROJECT  ·  LEGALTECH & CONTRACT AUTOMATION

"Written laws are like spiders' webs — they hold the weak, and are torn apart by the powerful." Which is exactly the kind of asymmetry I build software to close.

🗺️ How I Work

📜 Experience

Legal Engineer · Freelance2025 – present Small law firms kept asking me to draft the same contracts over and over, so I started building generators instead — Google Docs + Apps Script, cuts drafting time by ~40–60%. Still do full-cycle legal work on the side: contracts, claims, legal opinions, pre-trial letters.

Web Developer, Legal & Business Projects2024 – present 4 sites/landing pages with working feedback & application forms — nothing fancy, but they convert. One was for a legal advisory service, hooked up to a Telegram bot so leads get an instant reply. Also built a small internal dashboard (vanilla JS) for tracking documents.

Court Administration Assistant2022 – 2023 Drafted procedural docs, organized case files, kept the correspondence registers in order. Watched judges and staff drown in paperwork that could've been half a script — that's basically why LegalTech became the plan.
