About Me

I'm a React Front-End Developer based in Kilkenny, Ireland. I enjoy breaking complex problems into simple, testable pieces and crafting clean, accessible user interfaces with TypeScript, Tailwind, and Vitest. Test-Driven Development is at the core of my workflow, helping me stay focused and build scalable, maintainable code.

I hold a First Class Honours in Software Development from Atlantic Technological University, and I bring a creative mindset from my earlier career in classical music and private teaching. Alongside my front-end work, I have a solid foundation in Java, OOP, and backend logic ā€” and Iā€™m actively expanding my full-stack capabilities through tools like Node.js, Express, SQL, and Next.js.
