Whittington Kinley is an IP-focused attorney and former software engineer with nine years of experience blending technical depth, legal strategy, and business acumen across litigation, contract negotiation, and embedded systems. Holding a JD, MBA, and a BS in Computer Science, he has navigated classified military ISR software development, enterprise insurance platforms, and high-volume civil litigation while designing contract management systems that bridged legal and engineering teams.
