Who I Am.
I am a Software Engineer based in Dublin. Prior to this, I was working with O'Reilly Media as an IT project manager in Sebastopol, California. I returned to Ireland in 2017 and then worked remotely in a hybrid online event production / devops role.
I received a First Class Honours H.Dip. in Computer Science from University College Dublin in 2019.
For my undergraduate I earned a B.Sc (Hons) in Physics at University College Cork in 2011. I followed that in 2014 with a M.Sc. in Science Media Production within the Science Communication Unit at Imperial College London.
As a technologist, I have five years professional experience in IT project management and consulting. My career plan is to transition from these roles into a software engineering position with a company here in Dublin.
My full CV is available as a PDF .
When not working on my personal programming projects, I like to keep fit, travel, and listen to my favourite podcasts.
