About

I'm a Business Project/Process & System Tester at Siemens Digital Industries Software, working in software quality assurance within a global engineering environment.

My degree in Music, Media and Performance Technology from the University of Limerick gave me a strong foundation in project delivery, technical problem-solving, and cross-functional collaboration. I'm currently undertaking CS50 to deepen my computer science knowledge and move toward a career in software analytics and QA engineering.

I've built and led teams from the ground up — founding an events company, presiding over a university society, and managing projects in both commercial and educational settings.
