About me.
I am an Irish guy living in Madrid since 2007, where I have settled and have made my home.
I am passionate about innovation and how technology can be utilized to make a positive and direct impact on our lives. I am excited and enthusiastic about the challenges, possibilities and learning opportunities my career presents to me.
Outside of that, I love the outdoors; cycling and hiking, When its raining or too ridiculously hot in Madrid during the summer you'll find me playing music (flute and banjo) or playing chess.
Hope you take the time to check out a few of my recent projects or get in contact with me in LinkedIn. Would be delighted to hear from you.

Skills
I regularly update my skills and look for new ways to innovate in delivering solutions; via online course, podcasts and subscriptions to tech publications. I have my own personal home and cloud labs using VMs & Kubernetes clusters and currently investigating the DevSecOps area to help detect and defend against security vulnerabilities in deployments and applications I work with.
