Hey there!
Welcome to my website! I'm a Dublin-based software engineer with a M.Sc. in Information Systems from the University of Cologne in Germany. My work revolves around creating scalable and user-friendly software, both for end-users and fellow developers.
With over 5 years of freelancing experience, I have advised clients on building sustainable and cost-effective cloud-based software solutions that streamline their business operations.
Currently, at Amazon Web Services (AWS), I'm involved in developing the software for the next generation of edge networks leveraged, for example, in AWS Outposts .
