Software Engineer // Developer // Designer
I am a software engineer with experience in large scale web applications, automation, networking, and scripting. I thrive on projects that challenge what I know and which encourage me to master what I don't. I have recently been awarded a first class honors MSc in Software Engineering from UCD. I am an advocate for agile software development practices and have developed and deployed many enterprise applications.
I completed a four year bachelors degree in Computer Science. Elements of the course included Software Engineering, Distributed Systems, Networks and Communications, Data Mining, Machine Learning and Real Time Systems.
2010-2014Our team placed second in NUI Galway Big Idea enterprise competition receiving €5000 investment. We developed an idea to allow cafes and restaurants give loyalty points to their customers through a mobile app using QR codes. This would replace plastic and paper loyalty cards for the customers.
