Hello, I'm Nico.

I work on the space between product judgment, design craft, and AI-native capability. Right now, I build products at Henchman / LexisNexis, where the hard part is not adding AI to legal work. It is turning complex drafting and review workflows into tools lawyers can understand, trust, and actually adopt. I am drawn to messy domains, opinionated products, and the craft of making technology feel usable without making it simplistic.
Currently tinkering with
- Using AI tools to prototype faster without outsourcing product judgment
- Building a personal operating system for product work in Cursor

Projects
A selection of projects I've worked on, showcasing product strategy, design, and development across various industries.
Henchman - AI-powered Contract Drafting
Product work on AI-native drafting and review workflows inside Microsoft Word, where the challenge is turning firm knowledge, legal expertise, and model output into something lawyers can trust during high-stakes work.
Oper - Digital Mortgage Platform
Product and UX work on mortgage advisory workflows across brokers, lenders, banks, and borrowers. The core problem was making a complex B2B2C process coherent for distinct roles without hiding the real constraints.
EQWIN - Fantasy Sports App
Advisory work for a mobile-first fantasy sports app reframing horse racing for a new audience. Helped founders reason through product, design, and data choices in a category with heavy tradition and low modern product expectations.
Myskillcamp - Workplace Learning Platform
Product work on creator workflows for enterprise learning teams. Focused on helping organisations turn workforce skill-building into clearer, more usable creation and delivery flows.
Ekegai - Product Coaching & Mentoring
Coaching and mentoring for founders, designers, engineers, and product people. The work is usually about making product thinking more concrete: clearer problems, sharper trade-offs, better discovery, and smaller bets.
