View my portfolio

As a digital economy policy analyst, consultant, and researcher, I track and analyze how laws, regulations, and enforcement actions reshape global digital commerce. I specialize in briefing, categorizing, and translating complex legal developments into actionable insights for policymakers, legal professionals, corporate decision-makers, and researchers.

My day-to-day work focuses on collaborating to maintain a public and independent repository of policy changes affecting the digital economy. Dedicated to fostering an interoperable and transparent regulatory ecosystem, I track regulatory fragmentation, leverage my bilingual (Arabic/English) capabilities to manage cross-jurisdictional data verification, and regularly author analytical digests to break down high-velocity regulatory updates. My work is informed by an international perspective developed through extensive cross-border mobility and engagements across multiple jurisdictions.

This analytical focus is built on over a decade of legal practice, academic research, and advanced cross-disciplinary education. My background includes serving as a Researcher in International Treaties, a Lecturer in Law, and an Arbitrator. This practical experience is backed by a Master of Laws (LL.M.), a Master of Business Administration (MBA), and a Professional Diploma in Tax Policies. To support my analysis with the latest technical and operational frameworks, I have completed advanced professional training in data security, responsible AI risk mitigation, international tax frameworks, and cross-border BPO/ITO outsourcing programs.

My core expertise spans three pillars:
• Data Governance: Regulatory frameworks covering data protection, privacy, cybersecurity, cross-border data transfer regulations, data localization requirements, and data protection authority governance.
• Market & AI Regulation: Consumer protection, competition/antitrust, digital platform content moderation, copyright, and intellectual property (IP) frameworks, alongside specific tracking of AI design standards, performance requirements, and AI authority governance.
• Fiscal & Trade Policy: International tax, digital services taxation, transfer pricing, and foreign direct investment (FDI) rules.

By mapping these interconnected regulatory domains, I provide the foundational tracking and clear comparative analysis necessary to help international organizations, public sectors, and corporate decision-makers mitigate risks and navigate the shifting parameters of the global digital economy landscape.
