these are things i have actually built, researched or contributed to. no hypotheticals.
AutoBizBot — business automation for nigerian vendors
AutoBizBot is a telegram-based business assistant built for small nigerian vendors, particularly in the perfume and lifestyle space. it handles order logging, customer follow-ups, invoice generation and payment collection through paystack, all inside telegram.
the problem it solves: most small vendors in nigeria run their entire business in whatsapp voice notes and scattered dms. AutoBizBot gives them a lightweight back-office without asking them to change how they communicate.

brothers' keeper — programme design and leadership
brothers' keeper is an intensive overnight personal development programme for young men at obafemi awolowo university.

i have been studying how decentralised autonomous organisations make decisions, resolve disputes and distribute authority without traditional legal structures. the governance questions are serious legal questions: who is liable? what counts as a binding decision? how does a DAO respond to a data subject access request?
this feeds into my broader research on ai and emerging tech governance.
ai tools in legal research — a practical survey
a systematic review of how ai tools perform on nigerian law and how their limitations create legal risk for practitioners who rely on them uncritically.
key finding: most general-purpose AI tools have poor coverage of nigerian case law and subordinate legislation. a practitioner using them without verification is accepting a meaningful risk of error. the solution is not to stop using them. it is to understand exactly where they fail.
