Few have someone who can read both the model card and the statute and tell you exactly where the gap is. That is the work I do.

About
AI regulation is moving fast. Most organizations are somewhere between "we should probably look into this" and "we have no idea what we're doing." I write the analysis that helps close that gap.
My background is LL.B plus hands-on data work — Python, dashboards, legal datasets. That combination is rarer than it should be. I can read a model card and a statute in the same sitting and tell you what the mismatch actually means for compliance obligations in your jurisdiction.
Over the past year I have worked across Pakistan, India, the UAE, and the US — civil litigation, family law, comparative regulatory research, policy drafting. I built a legal platform read by 570+ professionals across three continents and published a book. Cross-jurisdictional work was a byproduct of opportunity at first; it became deliberate once I realized how rare it was.
The Global South regulatory context is underrepresented in the conversations that matter. Most AI governance writing comes from Brussels, London, or Washington. I work from the opposite direction — asking what the EU AI Act actually means when the regulator is the FIA, not the ICO. That gap is where I operate.

What I do
AI governance & regulatory analysis
Most organizations deploying AI have no real idea whether they're compliant — because the rules are genuinely complicated and changing fast. I map where their systems sit against the EU AI Act, US executive frameworks, and the emerging Asian regulatory picture, then write it up in a way that doesn't require a law degree to act on.
Legal research & litigation support
I draft for real cases — petitions, legal notices, plaints, sale deeds — across Pakistan and India. Not practice problems, not simulations. Documents that go before courts and get filed with clients' names on them. That changes how carefully you write.
Data analysis & legal intelligence
Courts produce mountains of data. Almost nobody looks at it systematically. I do — case outcomes, enforcement trends, regulatory filings — and turn the findings into dashboards and reports that actually inform decisions, not just decorate a slide deck.
Legal writing & policy communication
Good legal analysis that nobody reads is useless. I write for people who need to make decisions, not for people who want to demonstrate they've read the literature. Stripping jargon without losing substance is harder than it sounds.
