Software Expert Witness Opinion Areas
Applied across industries. Anchored to international standards.
Technology, Product Development & Software Engineering
The core discipline. Applying industry-standard design, testing, and post-deployment evaluation methods across industries since 1988.
SDLC/PDLC Governance & Technical Causation
When software projects fail, causation requires systematic governance analysis benchmarked against ISO/IEC and IEEE standards.
Platform Architecture & System Design
Enterprise-scale platform evaluation — API design, cloud migration, and mission-critical system governance.
E-Commerce, Affiliate & Loyalty Program Technology
Building the systems attorneys now litigate, since 1988. Named in Federal Circuit opinion 986 F.3d 1367.
AI Governance & Algorithmic Accountability
Evaluating AI-weighted models, algorithmic decision systems, and product development methodology for safety-critical AI deployments.
Standards Conformance (ISO/IEC, IEEE, ACM)
Every opinion anchored to internationally ratified standards: ISO 31000, ISO/IEC 12207, ISO/IEC 25010, IEEE 730, OWASP.
Source Code Expert Witness
Hands-on source code review and comparison across patent, copyright, and trade secret disputes, applying the Abstraction-Filtration-Comparison method.
Technology & Product Leadership · Since 1988
Since 2012, Bruce has served in technology and product leadership at a large financial services institution, including large-scale platform modernization and mission-critical systems delivery. His career spans Princeton (BSE, 1988, Magna Cum Laude) → Booz Allen → American Express (VP Technology) → First Manhattan Consulting → Brierley/WPP (CTO) → United Airlines (CTO, United.com) → Novantas (Managing Director) → Weiner.net, LLC (formed 2004; operating since 2008).
Since 2011, Bruce has been retained as a testifying and consulting expert in 30+ matters involving technology, product development, and software engineering — an even plaintiff/defense split. 10+ depositions, with live testimony experience.
A Structured, Standards-Based Methodology That Mirrors Industry Practice
Bruce applies the same analytical framework he has used in technology leadership since 1988: establish clear questions, apply experience and recognized frameworks, gather and review extensive documentary evidence, and measure processes against articulated goals and standards. This approach — anchored to ISO 31000, ISO/IEC 12207, ISO/IEC 25010, and IEEE 730 — produces opinions that are systematic, objective, and reproducible.

Bruce Weiner — Video Introduction
Video transcript
I'm Bruce Weiner. I've worked in technology, product development, and software engineering since 1988. Since 2011, I've been retained as a testifying and consulting expert by both plaintiff and defense counsel, with experience in deposition and live testimony. If technology is at the center of your case, I'd welcome a conversation.
