About

I’m a hands-on Software Architect in Dublin, working across systems, platform engineering, cloud infrastructure, and security.

My work is focused on improving reliability, delivery speed, upgrade paths, operational simplicity, and sensible cost efficiency. That includes platform optimisation, migration and modernisation work, resilience improvements, and making sure technical and operational requirements are properly validated rather than assumed.

I come from a strong Linux, systems, and networking background, which still drives how I think: understand the fundamentals, design for failure, and keep systems observable, maintainable, and practical to run.

Most of my recent work has been in platform and infrastructure engineering, where architecture and execution meet. I’m interested not only in how systems are designed, but in how they behave under load, how they are upgraded safely, and how they help teams deliver better over time.
