When that project hit the gap between legal and engineering, she taught herself backend development and shipped a working prototype of an autonomous LLM workflow for due diligence, published openly on GitHub. The same instinct now extends outward: she writes on AI strategy in legal practice, advises other firms on legal tech, and is an active part of the Copenhagen Legal Tech community.
