Work Overview
All of my current and past work history in one place.
Current Work
Currently, I am:
- Overseeing the Platform Development at Precision ALS, a pan-European academic research project to find an effective treatment for ALS. Specifically, my role is to sit between all the various stakeholders (patients, clinicians, Allied Health Professionals, Academics, Industry Partners, Data Scientists and Development Team) and turn their vision into a technical reality.

- CTO at LYQD - the first digital exchange for whiskey casks in Ireland. We're building a secure, transparent marketplace where distilleries, collectors and investors can buy, sell or manage whole Irish whiskey casks online. More here.
- I also own a consultancy business called Quantified. My typical client is a company with up €50 million annual revenue. My typical engagement is usually one of two things:
- Working between management and IT to organise internal (marketing, sales, customer) data in new ways to help businesses increase revenues or reduce costs.
- Building software to automate the above or generally improve their IT systems.
If you want to discuss this in more detail with me for your company or organisation, please get in touch.
