    SEEKING CONSULTING &#x2F; CONTRACT WORK — also open to the right full-time role

    Lawyer-technologist designing and building agentic AI systems for legal and other high-stakes work. I focus on the difficult distance between a promising demo and a deployment-ready workflow: selecting the right work, mapping privilege, data, and authority boundaries, designing evals and human-decision gates, and creating tool-agnostic operating architectures that can survive legal and security review. Current obsession: chaining authority- and scope-bounded agents into high-assurance workflows that can run autonomously for six-plus hours, show their receipts, and stop at explicit human (sometimes licensed professional) gates between stages—then produce genuinely valuable, substantial, compliant, and defensible deliverables.

    A useful first engagement is a bounded two-week sprint: rank workflows by value, readiness, and fit; sketch an initial target operating architecture; and produce a prioritized 90-day pilot plan plus one implementation-ready pilot brief.

    Recent work: AISPA system-prompt assurance paper: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;arxiv.org&#x2F;abs&#x2F;2607.28617" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;arxiv.org&#x2F;abs&#x2F;2607.28617 Authority Boundaries for AI: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.dazzagreenwood.com&#x2F;p&#x2F;authority-boundaries-for-ai" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.dazzagreenwood.com&#x2F;p&#x2F;authority-boundaries-for-ai Interlateral Agents: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;dazzaji&#x2F;interlateral_agents" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;dazzaji&#x2F;interlateral_agents (I have a private repo version with professional authorization or approval&#x2F;adoption gates and control kernel verifiable logging)

    Earlier work includes founding law.MIT.edu, testifying before Congress on electronic-transactions law, and leading Consumer Reports’ Data Rights Protocol. I am currently a Stanford CodeX affiliate.

    Available now for one bounded sprint and booking one or two larger engagements beginning in September. Best fit: in-house legal teams, legal-tech companies, and AI companies building high-stakes professional workflows.
