Software Developer Portfolio
Currently working working as a Software Engineer for Adaptemy, where we provide a large variety of customers with cloud-based Adaptive Learning Environments. I work with Express.js and Typescript, and have industry experience writing Go services, as well as experience using Rust for various side projects. I also have experience with deploying production code using Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform and AWS tools.
Education and Work
- November 2025 - Present
Mid-level Software Engineer
Adaptemy
Returning to Adaptemy gives me the opportunity to use my experience gained from my previous role to offer help wherever I can to introduce more up-to-date design principles and technologies with the goal of improving our efficiency and scalability, without compromising on the functionality we currently offer. I also am in contact with customers and can adapt to any changing requirements as they come up.
- September 2023 - October 2025
Cloud Engineer
HP Enterprise
Created and deployed cloud native applications in Go which form part of HPE GreenLake Private Cloud. I learned many vital skills including database management, containerization, and CI/CD pipelines. I was able to take part in the initial design of several services and I learned how to engineer applications from the ground up to be scalable, reliable and maintainable. I also honed my research skills so that any time I joined a project, I was able to take the time to look through its existing code to understand how everything works.
- June 2023 - August 2023
Software Engineering Intern
Adaptemy
Working with Adaptemy gave me my first exposure to working as a software developer. The small team and busy environment meant I was very quickly able to fully immerse myself in the main product of the company, an online learning platform built which uses ExpressJS.

MSc Computer Science (Negotiated Learning)
University College Dublin
GPA: 3.9/4.2
My master's degree has given me a lot of experience with individual and group coding projects. Some of the modules I got the most value from include Distributed Systems, Advanced Data Structures and Contemporary Software Development.
- 2018 - 2022
BSc Applied and Computational Mathematics
University College Dublin
GPA: 4.06/4.2
I learned many useful problem solving and research skills that I still apply regularly from my undergraduate degree. I was able to use these skills for my final year project on quantum computing algorithms. Some modules included Coding Theory, Advanced Computational Science and Weather Numerical Modelling.
