About Me
A software engineer based in Northern Ireland and, currently, lead developer at goconqr.com.
With a background in Physics and Mathematics I enjoy simple and elegant solutions to complex problems. I enjoy being able to apply myself to logical problems in any domain, but my recent experience is predominantly in web development.
I have a propensity to focus on function over form, questions of UI and UX do not keep me awake at night.
I have a passing interest in most sport, with specific interest in Gaelic football. Whilst my participation in that sport has regrettably come to an end, I am still a great believer that physical exercise can provide an answer to most of life's problems.
