Founding mechanical engineer at a pre-seed startup building autonomous bioreactors for pharmaceutical and biological production, designing the hardware, robotics, and control systems as one integrated closed-loop platform.

Co-organising Dublin's volunteer-led meetup for builders and technical founders, funded by Patch. An evening of pizza, drinks, and 7-minute demos of side projects and technical experiments, now 50+ sessions strong, with past demos ranging from brain-computer interfaces to stroke-risk monitoring hardware.

Developed a MATLAB-based GUI for researchers conducting x-ray femtochemistry experiments at Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron (DESY), Germany's world-leading centre for particle acceleration and photon science.

Contributed to R&D at FIRE1, a medtech startup that recently closed a $120 million financing round to scale its next-generation heart-failure management platform, the Norm system. Performed data analysis using Python, Plotly, and Dash, created SOLIDWORKS models, and conducted 3D printing and DV testing.

Managed patient scheduling and insurance claims using EXACT dental software. Handled patient communications, billing, and daily clinic coordination.

Led the State Estimation team for Formula Trinity Autonomous, an award-winning student engineering team from Trinity College Dublin and the first Irish team to compete in Formula Student Autonomous (FSAI), a global competition where universities design, build, and race fully self-driving cars.

Supported a large-scale server migration project, assisting with system testing and data verification. Gained experience in project coordination and enterprise software systems.
