Across every role, the pattern has been consistent: identify the pain, shape the solution, translate between business and engineering, and communicate clearly to create alignment and action.
In a sentence
I work at the intersection of consultative problem-solving and software — on complex, multi-stakeholder problems where both halves of that profile matter every day.
Over six years leading the design and delivery of €5–10m projects for clients who arrived with ambiguous needs, competing priorities, and hard constraints. The work was discovery, options, technical proofs of concept, trade-off conversations, scope negotiation – and aligning everyone, from end-users to engineers to senior decision-makers, around a solution that could actually be built.
With a background in architecture and technology, I combine creative solutions with technical problem solving. I can code, but I prefer to be the bridge between customers and engineers — turning ambiguous business needs into solutions that get built, shipped, and used.
Client discovery on high-value projects, uncovering underlying and emerging pain points, synthesising complex stakeholder needs into structured solution strategies, and framing solutions effectively for both business and technical audiences.
Tailored solution strategies for complex client requirements, using comparative solution design and bespoke POCs to demonstrate value, clarify trade-offs, and build stakeholder confidence and buy-in.
Delivery of narrative-driven presentations and technical demonstrations to secure stakeholder buy-in. Practised in distilling complex topics for non-technical audiences.
Support RFI responses and tender documentation to secure new work, provide commercial input through fee and contract negotiations, and articulate solution value as scope and delivery requirements evolve.
MSc Computer Science (1.1, UCD) and ARB-qualified architect, with strong technical depth across Python, Java, Node.js, TypeScript, React, Spring Boot, PostgreSQL, and Docker, and credibility engaging directly with engineering teams.
Experienced user of modern AI tooling — including Claude, Claude Code, and Figma-to-code workflows — applying agentic and iterative design approaches to prototype, design, and ship solutions faster than traditional workflows allow.
I qualified as an architect in London after a Bachelor of Architecture at TU Dublin and a Postgraduate Diploma in Professional Practice at the University of Westminster. Six years at IF_DO and ODOS taught me how to lead complex projects, work with senior clients, and ship things that have to actually stand up.
In 2024 I moved back to Dublin and added the technical foundation: an MSc in Computer Science at UCD, completed with First Class Honours, fluent in modern web development and engaged with how AI is changing the way software gets built.
Two disciplines, one operating model — commercial instinct shaped by senior client work, paired with current, hands-on technical depth.
I’m always open to good conversations — interesting problems, considered collaboration, work where consultative depth and technical credibility both matter.
