- Built up an international team starting with two people to ultimately a team of 10 AI researchers responsible for research of innovative ideas and implementation of novel applications in production for legal tech applications- Led research leveraging GenAI and implementation in production of new features for all of the following: * An innovative tool that identifies relevancy of documents based on descriptions provided by attorneys for multiple criteria * A chat engine using a retrieval-augmented generation and a LLM to allow attorneys to query their documents and get answers supported by citations * Capabilities for attorneys to query and summarize individual documents. * A feature that extracts timelines from legal documents * A feature that uses summarization and extraction techniques to provide summaries and table of contents for legal documents * The ability to review thousands of documents to identify relevance for one or more classes, saving hours, days, or even weeks of laborious manual review - Led research into the use of knowledge graphs for various applications, including a chat bot, summarization of many documents, and entity graphs- Worked with company leadership to develop AI strategies for the company
