About Me

Thanks for taking the time to visit.

I'm a freelance Full Stack Web and Mobile Developer from Ireland, trading as MGP Software Solutions Ltd. I primarily work with Ruby, Python and Javascript building Rails and AngularJS applications, while utilising the Ionic framework for mobile development.

I have been working as a software developer since September 2016 however I could be classed as a somewhat unusual convert to the world of software development, having qualified as a Chartered Accountant, and previously worked as such for firms in both Ireland and the US.

I particularly enjoy learning new technologies, broadening my knowledge base and tackling new projects. As referenced above, I have a keen interest in data analysis, and it's related fields.

Away from work, I strongly believe in work life balance, having played numerous sports, most notably hurling an indigenous Irish sport, travelling as often and as extensively as possible and generally living a rounded balanced lifestyle.
