About
Second-time founder. Technical CEO building ParaLeagle - The connective OS for ImmigrationParaLeagle automates H-1B, H-4, H-4 EAD, PERM, and TN petition prep for U.S. employers. The platform has processed 150+ petitions and includes an RFE compliance engine, a DOL OFLC wage level checker and an H-1B weighted lottery probability feature. Our attorney-in-the-loop model means AI handles 95% of petition prep while a licensed attorney reviews every case — because automation should earn trust, not replace judgment.Before ParaLeagle, I co-founded New Roots EB-5 Fund and built it into something it was never designed to be: a vertically integrated private equity real estate development firm. We raised $17.5M, delivered 60 homes in Granbury, Texas and are now developing 388 acres and 1,800 lots in Austin in a $140M land development deal. I recruited the developer, the CFO and the full leadership construction crew — transforming a capital fund into private equity real estate development.The connection between the two companies is not coincidental. The immigration attorneys I worked with across years of EB-5 closings showed me the system that ParaLeagle now exists to fix. I didn't study the problem from the outside. I sat next to the attorneys, watched the workflows break and watched families wait while PDFs moved through fax machines and scanners. The domain expertise came from operating inside the pain.I build teams around problems other people walk past. That's the pattern across everything I've done — real estate, immigration, technology. Find the system that was never built. Recruit the people who know it best. Build it.UIUC ECE. Chicago.

ParaLeagle is an AI-native immigration company that serves two markets with one platform. For employers and staffing firms, we handle employment-based immigration end to end. H-1B petitions, extensions, amendments, transfers, H-4 and H-4 EAD processing — we prepare, review, and file every petition with licensed immigration attorneys. Your team initiates a case from the systems they already use, and we take it from there. No outside counsel to manage. No documents to chase. No compliance gaps. Just petitions filed correctly, on time, at a fraction of traditional law firm costs. We specialize in the filings others avoid — including third-party worksite placements, staffing company compliance, and the documentation requirements that come with complex IT consulting arrangements. For family immigration attorneys, we build the operating system that runs your entire practice. Our AI handles intake, document assembly, form preparation, and case management for the petitions that make up your daily workflow — N-400s, I-130s, I-485s, I-765s, I-131s, and I-864s. Our AI voice receptionist answers your phones around the clock — scheduling consultations, answering routine case status questions, and capturing new client information so your team never misses a call or an opportunity. Built-in employee time tracking ties billable hours directly to cases, so nothing slips through the cracks and invoicing is effortless. And our intelligence layer makes your entire firm searchable — every email, call, message, and document organized and instantly retrievable, so the answer to any client question is seconds away instead of buried in someone's inbox. Spend less time on admin. Spend more time practicing law. Built by a 20-year immigration attorney who designed every workflow from real practice experience, and an engineering team from Google that built the platform to match.

Founder & CEO
Chicago, IL
Co-founded New Roots EB-5 Fund and transformed it from a capital-raising vehicle into a vertically integrated private equity real estate development firm. The pivot happened the way most of my best decisions happen: I looked at the org chart of a general contractor we were in litigation with, realized the value wasn't in the entity but in two people — a construction manager and a senior superintendent who had delivered every successful project the firm had completed. I recruited both. Then I recruited a developer and a CFO. Within six months we had an operating platform that builds the projects it finances, not just a fund that writes checks and waits. First project: raised $17.5M, delivered 60 homes in Granbury, Texas. Current project: developing 388 acres in Austin, Texas — a $140M land development deal producing 1,800 lots over 10 years, with additional upside if we go vertical. We create strategic partnerships with international business owners to channel foreign capital into U.S. investments that create American jobs. We operate with integrity and family values across every market we serve. The work that mattered most, though, wasn't the capital or the homes. It was what the EB-5 closings taught me about immigration. Years of coordinating with immigration attorneys — sitting inside their practices, watching the workflows, seeing the same data re-entered across three disconnected systems — showed me the operational pain that no one had built infrastructure to solve. That pain became ParaLeagle.
