I'm Tobi Olu-Awakan, and HubNeXT is me. I look after the tech for immigration lawyers in Ottawa. I sit between you and the tech, so nothing gets lost in translation and nobody sells you something you don't need.
Based in Ottawa. Happy to meet in person.
I started in electrical engineering: hands-on hardware work, plus coding, plus design. When I moved to Canada, I did a Postgraduate Diploma in Business Analysis at the University of Calgary, and worked there too. That's where I learned to understand a business from the inside, not just the technical side of it.
After that I worked as a product analyst at a SaaS platform with more than two million users, which taught me how software actually gets used, and where it breaks for real people. Alongside all of it, I spent five years freelancing for more than 80 clients across web development, SEO, technical writing and AI automation, and I worked with AdsPower. By then I had a lot of breadth and not much depth. I knew a bit of everything and hadn't gone deep on any one thing.
So I made a decision: pick one group of people and go deep for them instead of wide for everyone. I chose lawyers, and honestly, it wasn't really a choice. I grew up around lawyers. I've been surrounded by the profession my whole life, my fiancée is a lawyer, and if tech hadn't pulled me in, I probably would have become one myself. Today that means immigration lawyers in Ottawa: solo practitioners and firms of up to five who need someone dependable for their tech, but don't need an IT department.
This is what I do, full time. Three ways to work together, one kind of client, and a limited number of firms, around ten, so each one gets real attention.

No jargon, ever. If I can't explain it simply, I don't understand it well enough yet.
Sites, domains, accounts, systems. In your name, handed over in writing, no exceptions.
What gets done, what it costs, what's not included. Agreed before I start.
If what I offer isn't right for your firm, I'll tell you on the intro call.
