I build open-source tools that let AI agents handle real legal paperwork -- contract review, redline markup, and agreement generation. Before starting UseJunior, I practiced for 11 years at Ropes & Gray (five years as a patent agent, and six years as a lawyer), which is where I learned what these workflows actually look like up close.

25+ free legal agreement templates with DOCX output. NDAs, cloud service agreements, employment contracts, and more -- fill via CLI or API.
Formatting-preserving DOCX edits for AI agents. Surgical text replacement that keeps styles, numbering, and tracked changes intact.
Implemented the ParentNode.children getter for xmldom, the standard XML/DOM parser for Node.js.
Contributed a fix to the DOM Living Standard that reorders steps in Range.deleteContents() and extractContents() to collapse the range before removals, based on an open issue. Merged March 2026.
