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
data protection
i audit privacy practices against what NDPR and GDPR actually require in 2026, not what they required in 2019.
ai governance
i research and advise on the legal and ethical frameworks that should govern how AI systems make decisions.
legal research
i produce research on the intersection of law and technology that is useful to practitioners, not just academics.
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.
