I'm Ryan. I live in Dublin, Ireland where I work as a software engineer.

I've always had an affinity for technology, and loved making things for as long as I can remember. My first computer was an Amstrad CPC 464 way back in the 90s, which is ancient by modern standards. My passion for tinkering continued through my teens and into adulthood where I eventually found my way into software engineering.

I have strong experience in front and backend software engineering, I use React for creating dynamic and responsive user interfaces, and Spring for building robust and scalable backend applications. I work with AWS everyday and I'm a Amazon Web Services Certified Cloud Practitioner.

Currently, I work as a software engineer at Aer Lingus, contributing to projects ranging from bug fixes and legacy code maintenance to greenfield projects and customer-facing services. Knowing my work impacts thousands of users is very rewarding.

Beyond work, I stay up-to-date on software trends and support open-source technology. I run a Raspberry Pi and a couple of Linux servers where I host a handful of useful services. I also build and maintain computers and upgrade retro gaming systems.

When I'm not tinkering I enjoy spending time with my family and a travelling abroad whenever I can. Anyways, thanks for visiting my site, feel free to reach out if you'd like to connect.
