Pre-Law
Thinking like a lawyer.
I'm studying economics on the pre-law track at FIU. I want to understand the rules behind markets and technology, and I'm drawn to the legal questions AI is starting to raise.

(01) About me
I'm Phillip Walsh, an economics student at FIU on the pre-law track, a two-time founder, and someone who builds with AI every day. I'm drawn to the spot where law, business and technology collide, and I'd rather be building there than watching from the sidelines.

Business Owner
Running real companies.
I've founded two companies and handle the sales, pricing, onboarding and strategy myself. I'd rather learn business by doing it than only reading about it.
Marketing
Growing things people notice.
I'm really into digital marketing, especially SEO and using AI to build a digital presence. I put it to work at Walsh Digital, Pursut and Peak Pure & Natural.
Tech & AI
Building with AI.
I've built AI systems from a student research assistant to an agentic market-analysis engine, and I use AI in everything I run.
