2026 · Independent · Washington Civil Courts · Self-Represented · May 2026 – Present · Greater Seattle Area, WA, USA
- Representing myself in my civil legal matters — research, drafting, filings, discovery, declarations of service, and in-person hearings.
- Built a personal discipline for it: every assertion backed by a source, every document verified line by line before it moves, every hearing prepared as a complete file.
- That discipline — records first, verification always — became the Verified-Record Method, and elements of it now ship inside PerunTeCH's AI Engineering product: audit trails and traceability for AI-written work.
- The legal system has been my most demanding classroom since Qualcomm; I intend to use what it taught me to help others stand on their own record.
