Work Overview
All of my current and past work history in one place.
Current Work
- Chief Technology Officer, Precision ALS. I lead the technical side of a pan-European research programme building a shared patient data platform for motor neurone disease. The data model, the infrastructure underneath it, the governance that lets institutions across Europe contribute to one dataset, and the technical half of the funding applications behind it.

- Chief Technology Officer, LYQD. Ireland's first digital exchange for whiskey casks. I lead the exchange platform, the trust infrastructure under it — identity, escrow, asset verification — and the technical roadmap. The asset is physical and stays physical, so the platform has to be a system of record that stays truthful about a warehouse. More here
- Founder, Quantified. My consultancy. I work where product, engineering and delivery meet, on trust-heavy systems where "it works" isn't enough and governance, data quality and outside scrutiny decide whether something can be used at all. Currently CTO at Precision ALS and LYQD, so I take on very little. Get in touch
