Hello!

I study Immersive Software Engineering at the University of Limerick. I'm currently on an internship at Analog Devices.

I also lead the electronics department in UL's rocketry team.

In 2024, I won overall at the BT Young Scientist, Ireland's high school science fair.

I get through a lot of audiobooks, usually while my hands are busy, and I like talking with people about the things they care about.

I love enormous breakfasts, blustery days and daydreaming.

I think we've barely explored the good things we could make with the technology we already have.

What are you building? I'd love to hear.

I build things that would electrify ten-year-old me. Often, that means building the tools too. Luckily, I like both.

Electronics, machines, and software, in roughly chronological order.
