What I'm looking for

I seek roles combining legal expertise and technology—LegalTech, data privacy, or fintech compliance—with growth, cross-functional collaboration, and impactful regulatory work.

I am a legal-tech professional with an LLB from the University of Lagos, experienced in fintech operations, regulatory compliance, and web development. I have combined practical fintech experience at Patricia Technologies with supervised litigation and corporate training from Synergy Attorneys.

As a published researcher, I authored six peer-reviewed and widely distributed articles on SSRN and ResearchGate covering taxation, data protection, capital markets, criminal law, and constitutional governance, with work curated by major law schools and a privacy paper that received 1,200+ abstract views.

I design and deploy professional legal websites (including splp-law.com), produce high-quality legal content, and apply frameworks like the NDPR and GDPR to real business contexts, enabling firms to navigate compliance, product development, and legal operations effectively.
