Tell us about yourself?
Born and raised in the heart of Transylvania, Romania, in the vibrant city of Cluj Napoca, I have always been captivated by problem-solving and analytical challenges. My journey led me to the UK 10 years ago, where I pursued a career in engineering, embracing the methodical and logical rigor it entailed. However, it was an unforeseen personal challenge that steered my path towards legal technology.
At 36, I found myself grappling with a legal hurdle when my wife was unjustly dismissed from her job. Motivated to find a solution, I created LawMate as a sidekick to assist with her case. With the support of this tool, I represented my wife and triumphed. This victory was not just a personal vindication, but a revelation of a broader issue — the gap in accessible legal information for the common person.
Inspired by this, I transitioned my focus from traditional engineering projects to developing LawMate AI further. The platform evolved from a personal aide to a communal asset, aimed at demystifying legal complexities for individuals, particularly students and entrepreneurs. My mission became clear: to make legal insights accessible, serving as a preliminary guide before one seeks official legal counsel.
Now, as the brain behind LawMate AI, I am channeling my engineering acumen into a cause that transcends personal victory, aspiring to empower others in navigating the legal landscape with ease and confidence. Through LawMate AI, I am turning a chapter of adversity into a narrative of communal empowerment and accessibility in the realm of legal information.
If you could go back in time a year or two, what piece of advice would you give yourself?
I would probably say to myself to focus on finding a solution rather than dwelling on the problem. And see any problem as a challenge.
