About

Computing Science student with a focus on Machine Learning, cybersecurity, and software development. I've co-founded several tech startups, contributed to Red Hat's Trusted AI team, and spent a few thousand hours teaching the fundamentals.

I'm most interested in the unromantic parts: writing code that's tested, infrastructure that scales, and documentation a colleague will still understand a year from now.

Experience

Jul 2026 to Present

Red Hat

AI Associate Engineer, MLflow

Open-source MLflow, focused on agent observability and on how evaluations are executed.

  • Trace archival and streaming retrieval, evaluation job execution, and the communication between the server and the client SDK.
  • Designed a pluggable execution framework for evaluation and scoring jobs, with process isolation, cancellation and timeout semantics held under test.
  • Partnering with other Red Hat product teams to land their MLflow integrations, translating requirements into upstream changes and carrying them through public review.
  • Maintaining Red Hat's downstream MLflow distribution shipped in OpenShift AI: release engineering, CI stability and dependency remediation.

Jan 2025 to Aug 2025

Red Hat

AI Engineering Intern, Trusted AI

  • Built the LLM evaluation metrics surface for TrustyAI: BLEU, ROUGE and Levenshtein.
  • Rewrote the mathematical foundations of the drift and anomaly detection suite, including a full Python implementation of Jensen-Shannon divergence, and designed the API layer around it.
  • Architected the service test infrastructure using dependency injection, with validation coverage across every endpoint.

EirePlan

Founder

Agentic planning intelligence for Irish property and development.

  • Ireland's only platform holding a live corpus of every application, decision, appeal and development plan across all 31 local authorities, updated in real time. 585,000+ decisions indexed.
  • Built the entire agentic stack in-house with no orchestration frameworks: document-ingestion agents, a decorator-based tool harness deriving schemas from type signatures, retrieval with agentic query expansion, and guardrails.
  • Every answer returns exact policy and section citations, a hard correctness requirement in a legal domain, alongside compliant handling of personal data in public application files.
  • Supplies the planning data layer that Speed-Deed's product depends on in production.
