Summary
Michael Poulshock is a director at KPMG with 15 years of experience at the intersection of law, software engineering, and policy automation. Trained as an attorney (Temple JD) and a CodeX fellow at Stanford, he designs and delivers legal decision systems that translate statutes and regulations into auditable business rules for government and enterprise clients. His career blends leadership roles at global firms (Oracle/Accenture/KPMG) with hands-on knowledge engineering work for agencies like the IRS and state labor departments.
