Profile
Software developer graduating Summer 2026 with an MSc in Software Development — and a genuine interest in product design, particularly where technology meets real human behaviour. I've built ShelterLink in close collaboration with Assisi Animal Sanctuary, making every UX decision myself. I also run RDev Studio, serving local NI businesses. I work extensively with AI tools including Cursor and Claude to stay focused on what actually matters: solving the right problem well.
