Building thoughtful systems at the intersection of performance and simplicity. Based in Dublin, Ireland — working across backend infrastructure, distributed systems, and developer tooling.

Engineer by trade,
builder by instinct.

I'm a software engineer with over six years of experience designing and shipping production systems. My work spans API architecture, real-time data infrastructure, and open-source tooling — with a focus on writing code that is readable, maintainable, and fast.

I care deeply about the craft of engineering: not just making things work, but making them work well. I've contributed to systems handling millions of requests per day at companies including Stripe and Intercom, and I continue to build and maintain several open-source projects.

When I'm not writing code, I'm probably reading about programming language theory, running along the Liffey, or overcomplicating a perfectly good home espresso setup.
