Litigation-Informed Prosecution


My approach to patent law is heavily informed by my litigation experience. I have seen how patents are torn apart in federal court and at the PTAB. Having worked extensively with corporate litigation departments, I draft claims specifically designed to withstand inevitable future challenges and drive maximum commercial value.

The Business of Intellectual Property


I view intellectual property through a commercial lens. Beyond standard prosecution, I have audited massive corporate portfolios to identify specific assets for enforcement, licensing, and sale.

Rooted in Advanced Engineering


Before entering the legal field, my research focused on pushing the boundaries of modern computing: I developed novel GPU memory optimization techniques and parallel programming algorithms, designed and implemented AI-based biometric recognition systems, and more. I don't just prosecute software and AI patents; I have engineered the underlying technology.
