Ostap Kovalisko

About

I'm Chief Architect at Mission Law, a US law firm. I lead AI engineering and shape the architecture of the firm's client and internal operations platform. My work spans billing, company and user management, onboarding, document workflows, and integrations, alongside building and mentoring the engineering team.

I also designed and built the core AI operations system: typed actions, human approval flows, retrieval, model routing, and review interfaces. My current focus is turning incoming requests into source-backed drafts that people can verify, with missing information and conflicting sources made visible.

I'm also a serial founder. Three startups as CTO or technical co-founder — one acquired — and a software agency, Eucalipse, that has shipped 50+ projects since 2019. These days I work across US time zones from wherever the map takes me.
