I am 20 years old, raised in Limerick, Ireland and I am typically based out of Dublin, Ireland studying a BSc (hons) in Computational Social Science majoring in Sociology and Economics at University College Dublin (UCD). It's a relatively unknown discipline as the field is just budding so I'm pretty excited to be one of the few people in the world specialising in it. I'm in my final year now.
Since January, I have been privelleged to be based out of Singapore, where I studied for my semeseter abroad. Taking advantage of my position, I have travelled several countries in South East & East Asia. I am currently in Vietnam, the last country of my asian tour, and I will be back in Ireland in June. It's been a wonderfull experience, and I'm very much excited to bring it back to the work I do.
In the meantime, I have also started working on filmography, a hobby that I take a very keen interest in. I have vlogged many of my travels so do keep an eye out for future youtube videos :)
I am a technologist that has great passion for the arts and humanities. You can find me exploring a variety of topics of interest such as entrepreneurship, technology, economics, the human mind, literature, filmography, music and my travels.
I have many passions and I chase an impossible desire to live the human experience.
This website is a sandbox for my self expression. I think a lot of other personal websites just end up conforming into glorified business cards. It's pretty common in the dev space, but i want to revamp that type of thing and just be authentic.
I cant make any promises of consistency in this site but it is what it is.
You can find me on my public profiles at LinkedIn, Github, Tumblr, and Instagram.
