I am a recent graduate 
of Athlone Institute of Technology, Ireland. I successfully completed a Bachelor of Science (Honours) in Software Design and Game Development, achieving a First Class Honors. Details on the course can be found here, while my modules and results can be viewed here.
I am driven, ready to learn, and capable of overcoming any challenges I might face. I feel that I can be a positive, hardworking addition to any workplace. I can be a strong member of a team, often stepping up to lead if there is a need for it. However, I am mostly technically orientated, and am more than willing to increase my knowledge in areas I am lacking, possessing a strong desire to learn.
I have experience in both application development and web development, earned from my time in college, working in Ericsson, and from personal projects.
I have a large interest in technology and gaming. I have built my own custom computer, and like to keep up to date on the new hardware and technology news. I also find myself not only playing games, but tinkering with them, trying to see what I can change using Assembly injections or loading custom modifications. This develops my problem solving capabilities and continues to build my knowledge in a vast array of technical areas. Playing games has also made me more aware of usability flaws in software. This is reflected in my work, where I attempt to make things as easy and transparent for the end user of my software as I possibly can.
Some of my non-technical hobbies include reading, and archery. I am a member of the archery society in Athlone Institute of Technology. I love to read, with some of my favorite genres being fantasy, sci-fi, and history. Whenever I have a few minutes to spare, I often open my Kindle app and read a few more pages.
