Seth Saler
Senior Legal Engineer — Orlando, FL
I build micro-tools: CLI utilities, desktop helpers, browser extensions, and automation that do one job clearly — usually with a README you can follow in five minutes. By day I work on AI-powered contract lifecycle software, metadata, and customer rollouts; a big part of that role is staying on top of shifts in the AI landscape by following news and trends closely, so we can prioritize emerging paradigms — RAG, structured JSON prompting, Skills, MCPs, CLIs, and more — early in the general adoption cycle. Lately I have been building Cerberus, a Cursor agent skill that gives coding agents repeatable guardrails and review steps instead of one-off instructions each session. By night I wire up PDFs, CSVs, Chrome, and whatever the messy edge case needs.
Tools I reach for
Cursor
Claude Code
Hermes Agent
Cerberus skill
Lovable
Replit
OpenAI Codex
OpenClaw
OpenCode
Prototyping, autonomous coding, low-boilerplate web apps, and one-off scripts — each handles a different mode of work.
Micro-tool themes
Projects
Cursor agent skill in active development: encodes how agents should review and sanity-check their own diffs so the same standards apply every run
Sync Chrome bookmarks to Atlas, Comet, Dia, etc., with ordering and merge modes
Email-to-PDF GUI with one-line install
X extension: region flags from "Connected via," optional hide-by-region
Side-by-side CSV diff with highlighted rows and CSV/Excel export
Compare two Word files on macOS; get tracked changes and a change report
Chrome extension: download media from Reddit, X, Instagram, Threads posts
Collision-safe sort-into-extension-folders CLI with optional macOS launcher
Loan / amortization CSV → interactive charts demo
Lab PDFs → structured time-series JSON via LLM + OCR fallback
Folder of tagged PDFs → CSV or Excel via PyMuPDF (GUI + CLI)
macOS AppleScript helpers to unsave / clear votes via local Chrome
Privacy-focused document redactor with GUI for PDFs/CSVs/Excel
OCR + heuristics → merged signature packet PDF (GUI + CLI)
update-all-clis: discover CLIs on disk and run the right package-manager updates
Bulk-remove X bookmarks using local Chrome
Add X mute keywords via Chrome DevTools Protocol
Professional experience
- Stayed current on AI news and trends to help prioritize emerging paradigms (RAG, structured JSON prompting, Skills, MCPs, CLIs, and similar) early in the adoption cycle
- Developing Cerberus, a Cursor agent skill for repeatable agent-side review and guardrails on generated code (in active iteration)
- Shipped NER and automation workflows that enrich document metadata for search and RAG
- Owned product vision and roadmap for an AI-powered contract-lifecycle platform; features in pilot and production
- Built dozens of LLM-driven automations that reduced manual clause drafting and review for enterprise accounts
- Partnered with Sales on pilots and proof-of-value with major customers; built customer success motion (office hours, video, in-app guidance)
- Introduced GitHub for automation source control and mentored junior legal engineers
- Created clause libraries and precedent databases for fast retrieval and reuse
