About

I started out in business, not code. A management degree in Ireland and a semester in Berlin led to a FinTech diploma, and that’s where I started building software.

Since 2020 I’ve worked on hotel software, telco backends, a health app and now AI products. The business background stuck: before I ask how to build something, I ask who it’s for and what it should change.

Tools I use

Front end
React, Next.js, TypeScript, Angular, Redux Toolkit, HTML & CSS
Back end
Node.js, Express, GraphQL, Prisma, PostgreSQL, .NET Core
Cloud
AWS ECS, Lambda, Cognito, EC2, S3, RDS, CloudFront, CloudWatch, Docker
Mobile
React Native, Bluetooth LE
