I'm interested in two things: the patterns hidden in data, and ideas turned into things you can hold. So I work on both sides of the line, software and hardware.

About

Software ⟷ Hardware

I'm a first-year Computer Science & Business student at Trinity College Dublin, with a strong interest in both software and hardware.

On the software side, I'm drawn to data and the patterns within it, from Python scripting to optimising a trading strategy over thousands of backtests. On the hardware side, I like seeing ideas come to life: taking designs from concept sketches to parametric SolidWorks parts and assemblies, then into hands-on mechanical builds.

Right now I'm co-founding Resonance, a web start-up that rebuilds outdated websites for small businesses.

Interests

Cars & engines

How an engine turns fuel into motion. It's the reason I modelled a V8 one part at a time.

Markets & trading

Price action, backtesting, and the statistics behind whether a strategy actually holds up.

Bikes & mechanics

Fixing things by hand: drivetrains, brakes, and rebuilding bikes for people who need them.

Design & CAD

Taking a product from concept sketch to parametric model and technical drawing, like the soap dispenser I designed for my Leaving Cert DCG project.

Projects

Pick one to open

Seven projects, from an engine and a rocket fin can to an app that reads a pool table and a hackathon build with my team.

Open a tile to maximise it. Each project has its own space: explore it, then minimise it to choose another.

More work

Smaller builds, client work and design projects.

Resonance

Ongoing

A web start-up I co-founded with a friend. We rebuild outdated websites for small businesses so they’re easier to use and look modern.

Driving-school scheduler

In progress

Custom timetabling software for Resonance’s first client, VS Driving School, to schedule and manage driving lessons.

E-bike conversion kit

Prototype

A SolidWorks design that turns a standard bicycle into an e-bike, with the motor and battery mounted on a frame someone already owns.

Drone delivery app

Done

On work experience at TCS, my team reimagined food delivery as a drone-based system. I designed the app prototype and user journey in Figma.
