I somehow became a lawyer, although as a kid I was much more interested in mathematics, physics, chemistry and computers. I studied law at Lomonosov Moscow State University and stayed on for postgraduate research in corporate law. I kept writing code along the way, and in 2022 I went back to mathematics seriously. Now I’m building Legal Machines, a legal AI startup where I’m trying to bring my legal background and technical interests together.
Maybe this site is not for you. If you’re a mathematician looking for new results, you probably won’t find them here (not yet). If you’re a lawyer who would rather the profession stay more or less as it is, you may like this site even less (I sometimes suspect the profession has started producing autoantibodies, and that I’m one of them).
I keep trying to figure out what is actually doing the work in a system, whatever its official description says. Understanding it is usually not enough for me: sooner or later I want to found something of my own and see how it behaves in the real world.
So I write because I want to influence the world, not just understand it. I'm always happy to discuss what I write here, especially with people who disagree with me. After all, that's partly why I put my ideas out in public: to give us something worth talking about.
