things get complicated
when no one's watching the rules.

i help organisations understand what the law
actually requires of their technology.

i'm abdullah — a law student at obafemi awolowo university who got very interested in what happens when technology moves faster than the rules meant to govern it.

that gap is where i work. data protection, ai governance, legal research, and helping organisations figure out where they actually stand before it becomes someone else's problem.

i am three years into a law degree and most of that time has been spent doing things law school did not ask me to do.

four things i do well

01

data protection

i audit privacy practices against what NDPR and GDPR actually require in 2026, not what they required in 2019.

02

ai governance

i research and advise on the legal and ethical frameworks that should govern how AI systems make decisions.

03

legal research

i produce research on the intersection of law and technology that is useful to practitioners, not just academics.

04

ai in legal practice

i understand how ai tools are changing legal work from the inside. i can show a firm or a lawyer what that actually looks like.

i also write for myself at reflections and rants.
it has nothing to do with work and everything to do with thinking.

if your business still runs on voice notes, screenshots and manual follow-ups, that site was built for you.
