About.

A Computer Engineering student who would rather build a working system than only read about one.

I'm studying Computer Engineering at Trinity College Dublin. Outside of lectures, most of what I build sits where software meets hardware or money: trading systems that run live on Binance and MetaTrader 5, firmware for STM32 and ESP32 boards, and AI tools that automate real work.

I also work on car head units: Volkswagen MIB2 and BMW NBT EVO systems running QNX Neutrino, switching on features the factory left off and building new ones.

I like Linux, small fast tools, and code that keeps running after I close the laptop. I'm currently looking for an internship; get in touch.
