About Me
I'm a senior engineer at Integra LifeSciences in Massachusetts and have a Masters Degree in Engineering from University College Dublin.
I'm looking to leverage my technical and leadership skills developed from my experience in the medical device industryto transition to a career in digital systems and analytics.
I'm passionate about bringing ideas to life online and using technology to gather new insight from big data. I've completed a number of massive open online courses including Harvard's CS50x. I'm currently learning Ruby and the Ruby on Rails application framwork. Outside of coding, I love to climb and go hiking or biking around New England. Feel free to check out my projects or send me a message through the links below

This website
This web app is competely static and simply served through a CDN. It is based on the JAMstack architecture. For the frontend, I am using Gatsby.js, a blazing-fast static-site generator based on React.js. The site is built and deployed on Netlify, an all-in-one platform for automating web projects. Form management and all other backend functionality is powered through Netlify's extremely generous free tier.
