Dublin, Ireland
Software engineer building AI tools to improve health outcomes. MSc in AI in Medicine, University College Dublin. Interested in roles combining machine learning and healthcare.
I'm a senior software engineer with over two decades of experience building scalable systems — and a growing obsession with what happens when you point machine learning at medicine.
After building backend infrastructure at Patreon, Microsoft, O'Reilly Media, and a range of startups, I've just completed an MSc in Artificial Intelligence in Medicine & Medical Science at University College Dublin, where my research sits at the intersection of AI, genomics, and computational biology.
I'm looking for roles where deep software engineering craft meets real clinical or biological problems — ML engineering at health-tech companies, research engineering at academic medical centres, or bioinformatics work that needs someone who has shipped production systems and trained models.
AI & Medicine Research
Deep learning segmentation of the right ventricle in cardiac MRI. Developed and evaluated convolutional segmentation models to automate delineation of cardiac structures — clinically critical and notoriously difficult due to the right ventricle's irregular shape and low contrast.
Convolutional neural network to identify and classify fetal ultrasound planes for automated medical image analysis. The model learns to distinguish standard anatomical views — a prerequisite for any downstream automated measurement or anomaly detection system.
A generalisable ordinary differential equation model to predict patient survival across LUAD (lung adenocarcinoma) datasets. Designed to transfer across cohorts without retraining — important for clinical settings where labelled data is scarce and patient populations vary.
Personal Projects
Streamlit web app providing automated health and lifestyle summary metrics along with correlation analysis between variables such as stress, sleep quality, and activity. Generates insights to highlight actionable behavioral patterns.
iOS and Apple Watch app for capturing fleeting thoughts and reminders with the lowest possible friction — designed for the moment between "I just thought of something" and "that's safely stored."
Apple Watch geography game for studying country names, capital cities, and flags. Built to scratch a personal itch — and to learn watchOS development properly.
Personal finance system to organise budgets, accounts, and investments. Goes beyond tracking — models predict future spend and suggest optimisations based on historical patterns.
I write about AI in medicine, software engineering, and occasional tangents. Newer posts are hosted on Bear Blog; older WordPress-era posts live in the local archive.
Open to conversations about roles at the intersection of AI and medicine, including bioinformatics, genomics, data science, personalized medicine, precision nutrition — or anything else that seems interesting.
