Building software at the speed of thought with AI
Galway, Ireland
Available for contract work
I'm a full-stack software builder from Galway with a passion for coding that started in 2008. I build software the way modern engineers should: AI-first, using Claude Code for engineering, Claude Design for UI, and Conductor to parallelise multiple agents across tasks simultaneously.
This lets me prototype, architect, and ship production systems dramatically faster than traditional workflows — exploring design tradeoffs, eliminating boilerplate, and maintaining high velocity without sacrificing code quality.
Outside of work I'm usually chilling with the family, dialling in coffee, playing tunes on the banjo, or walking the dog.
Building out high-performance experiences across Fin's marketing site around their core AI agent offerings — Intercom's major AI pivot. Work spans CMS integration, localisation systems for global markets, full-stack observability tooling, on-call incident response via PagerDuty, and maintaining Claude skills for efficient engineering workflows.
Web engineer on Intercom's marketing and growth team, building and maintaining high-performance experiences across intercom.com. Worked closely with design, content, and product marketing to deliver at scale.
Led the experimentation program across marketing sites attracting ~2M visitors monthly, running 400+ A/B tests and personalisation campaigns. Collaborated with product and design on new site sections and design system components, with lead responsibilities across engineering teams in EMEA and APAC.
Lead developer across diverse client projects from initial concept through to production, including Enterprise Ireland and DPD. Handled the full stack, mentored junior engineers, and managed ongoing client support.
Full stack development at the agency later rebranded as Total Digital — building and maintaining a wide variety of client projects across the full stack, from greenfield builds to production support.
Primary backend Python developer on Qualio's SaaS Quality Management platform, built on Pyramid for pharma and life sciences organisations navigating FDA and ISO compliance. Refactored legacy code, developed a new API, and maintained high uptime on AWS.
Led the Screenwriter team for three years — a Python Theatre Management System running on 40,000+ cinema screens globally, integrating with projection systems, POS, IP cameras, and onsite hardware. Responsible for hiring, training, worldwide deployments, and customer support.
Joined AAM as a Python developer on the Screenwriter project, building and maintaining features for a theatre management system deployed in cinemas worldwide. Promoted to team lead after a year.
First role after graduating — C# developer enhancing an eCommerce platform facilitating insurance sales across the United States.
