Software Engineer at Verizon Connect Ireland
Specializing in Backend Development, Database Engineering & Cloud Solutions
I'm a passionate Software Engineer with 5+ years of experience, including my current role at Verizon Connect Ireland and previous internship at Unum Ireland. I specialize in backend development and database engineering, thriving on solving complex problems, optimizing systems, and exploring new technologies to deliver innovative solutions.
My expertise spans from developing microservices and managing highly transactional databases storing vehicle telemetry data, to implementing cost-effective migrations and performance optimizations. I have experience with both Lean Agile methodologies at Verizon Connect and Scrum practices from my time at Unum, where I developed Java Selenium automation for Salesforce applications.
When I'm not coding, you'll find me strength training, running mountain trails, working on my home lab, or following the latest MotoGP and Isle of Man TT races.
