I'm a software developer who loves to create products that help people explore exciting data. My educational background is in digital media, which I studied at the Cork Institue of Technolgy and Hochschule Darmstadt. My master thesis was on data sonfication in the workplace, which I researched a London-based startup. After receiving my degree, I stayed with the startup company and began my journey as a software developer with a passion for data. I am now working for Neo4j on the graph visualisation application Bloom. When I'm not writing code, I enjoy making music and photography.
