Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolMichael Edelman is a legal technologist and principal-level software architect who marries eight years of engineering leadership with firsthand BigLaw experience—having billed 2,000+ hours and managed 700+ case MDLs—to build production-grade AI systems lawyers will actually use. He has led platform and open-source efforts at AWS and Apollo GraphQL, founded legal AI products processing millions of court opinions, and architects infrastructure that balances accuracy, compliance, and scalability. A New Jersey–barred attorney turned engineer, he uniquely translates adversarial legal workflows into deterministic, auditable software—often reducing analysis time by orders of magnitude. Michael publishes and builds in public (github.com/medelman17), mentors cross-functional teams, and now focuses on enterprise legal AI, knowledge graphs, and court-compliant automation that move beyond demos into real-world practice.
