AI Governance · Regulatory Analysis · Cross-Jurisdictional Research

Most compliance teams know AI regulation is moving fast. 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 me
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.
Over the past year I've worked in Pakistan, India, the UAE, and the US. Civil litigation, family law, comparative regulatory research, policy drafting. I've built a legal platform read by 570+ professionals across three continents and published a book. None of it was handed to me.
I use Python and data tools to find patterns in legal datasets that pure doctrinal analysis misses. And I bring legal precision to data work that would otherwise ignore the regulatory environment it operates in.

Areas of focus
AI governance & regulatory analysis
Most organizations deploying AI have no real idea whether they're compliant. Not because they don't care — 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 I 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 — I've been doing it long enough to get it right.

Truth-seeking in Pakistani criminal trials
PLD 1966 SC 708 is a 60-year-old Supreme Court decision that still shapes how Pakistani criminal courts weigh evidence. I read it closely and wrote up what the reasoning actually reveals.
