Michael Hastings
Legal operations and eDiscovery leader with 15+ years of experience building, coordinating, and enabling legal technology programs at enterprise scale. I build production AI tools at the intersection of law, engineering, and AI — shipping real software that legal teams actually use.
Currently Technical Program Manager, Legal at Coinbase, where I support 30 attorneys and 10+ outside counsel across 200+ active matters annually. Recent work includes automating the legal hold lifecycle with UIPath RPA, leading the vendor selection that brought Nuix in-house for Slack data processing, and driving a Relativity workspace audit that saved $486,000 in 2025. I evaluate and deploy AI platforms including Harvey AI and TrueLaw AI for legal team adoption.
"I'm not interested in AI as a concept. I'm interested in what ships."
Every project in this portfolio started as a real operational problem: a manual process that should be automated, a workflow that could be smarter, a tool that didn't exist yet. The philosophy background helps me ask better questions. The TPM background helps me actually deliver.
