Record

Eric builds production AI workflows for regulated environments and hard-mode enterprise constraints. Before joining Martian, he shipped firmwide tools for a national law firm—Word add-ins, vector/RAG services, and serverless document-analysis pipelines—that displaced costly vendors while improving speed and consistency.

Earlier, he spent two years leading Urbit-native development at Quartus, taught Hoon, and bridged strict functional backends with modern React frontends. He holds a J.D. from Chicago-Kent and has spent a decade turning messy, cross-departmental requirements into reliable software used in the real world. Off the clock, he mainlines horror and weird fiction and still appreciates the discipline learned from a past life in weight rooms and wrenching on parts counters.
