About

Co-founded and led the technical architecture of an AI-powered planning intelligence platform now running in live production with Irish planning professionals. The platform indexes 585,000+ planning decisions across all 31 Irish local authorities and provides policy-grounded, fully-cited answers alongside a workflow-aware project workspace.

• Designed the end-to-end ingestion and retrieval stack: legislation, development plans, registers, and appeal decisions normalised into a structured planning knowledge engine.
• Built retrieval-augmented reasoning with strict citation enforcement — no uncited authority, every output traceable back to source policy.
• Shipped a planning-native workspace covering assisted drafting, completeness checks, precedent discovery, and statutory-timeline tracking.
• Set the explainability bar for the system: if the logic flow cannot be traced, the output cannot be used.
