About me
From training as an architect to co-founding an award-winning technology startup at 22, I have always relied on analytical thinking to create unique products that solve people's problems.
I am fluent in English and Irish. I also have conversational fluency in Italian. My biggest strengths are UX design, empathising with user problems and conducting user tests.
