I leave crumbs of code.

I’m a software developer on the Dingle Peninsula building real software with AI, and dropping a trail of blog posts, repos and videos so you can follow along.

A few crumbs about me

  • Nearly ten years building websites and online systems for big companies.
  • Frontend at heart. Component libraries are my happy place.
  • Coding from West Kerry, where the Wi‑Fi is decent and the views are better.
  • Albert the sausage dog handles QA and cleans up any crumbs I drop.
