On this page I mention some of the legal design and automation projects I’ve worked on in the past or am working on now. Most of these are personal projects but sometimes I’ve built something to make a client job more efficient.
In some cases you’ll be able to take them for a spin, in others I’ll just pop up some screenshots, and occasionally I might put up some ideas to see what you think. If you like anything you see and want something similar for yourself, feel free to ask.

The video above explains how the builder works.
