About Me

Being born in 2005 means I grew up right in the middle of the upcoming digital age. Throughout my life I was surrounded by tech, new and old, from Windows 7 and the Wii, to the iPhone 4 and the explosion of a new era of video on YouTube.

This technology foundation would follow me all the way through my life. In primary school I used to submit my homework using Microsoft Word. I quickly got the reputation as the “tech kid” - Teachers & family would look to me to fix their technology related issues such as a sound error or a broken phone. My teachers wouldn't be surprised that I took up a degree in Computer Science!

My love of computers would only evolve as I got older, entering secondary school I learned about writing code and the endless possibilities it could have. During lockdown I spent weeks researching and learning about computers before I finally bought the parts and built my own PC.

Later in life I would go on to become the lead editor of my school's talent show & end of year slideshow of memories. I continued building PC's including upgrading my own and designing and building 2 others for family members before finally discovering Computer Science as a degree in University.

After a summer spent in the USA, I developed a deep interest in Cybersecurity - I found the idea of digital security captivating and decided that was what I wanted to pursue after University.

Technology has accompanied me hand in hand throughout my childhood & school life, and I wouldn't have it any other way. I find it so fascinating both from a hardware and software perspective and really believe that there is no better place for me.

Throughout my six years, I maintained an exceptional record in projects, examinations, and community reputation.
• BSc in Computer Science | Maynooth University (2024 - Present) Currently in my second year, focusing on core foundational pillars of technology. I have successfully completed modules in Data Structures and Algorithms, Computer Architecture, and Operating Systems, providing me with a deep understanding of how software interacts with hardware at a fundamental level.

Completing my bachelors degree at Maynooth University is only the beginning of my journey, with my final destination being one where I can make a real change in people's lives through technology.

I have my sights set on Cybersecurity. The sector responsible for protecting assets and data through defensive and offensive techniques. Cybersecurity is a keen interest for me, particularly Incident Response with a later transition into Security Architecture when I gain more experience and reputation. The dream is to work in a bank or for a company like Cloudflare who specialise in secure networks and asset protection through threat detections and firewalls.

Incident Response excites me due to its high tension, under pressure environment due to incoming threats and breaches. A later move to Security Architecture with experience and a background in incident responding will make me more knowledgeable and valuable in the field.

Whether cyber sees me stay in Ireland or potentially move to America, I can't wait to see where it takes me. I want to do right by the people who always supported me and prove the people who didn't wrong.

Lets make the world a better place
