Hello, I'm
Software Engineering Manager
Multiple decades of building software, building teams, and building things that matter — across industries from pharmaceuticals to gaming.
Dublin, Ireland
Learn moreI'm a software engineering manager with multiple decades of continuous experience in the industry. My career has spanned the full spectrum of software engineering — from being the sole engineer in an early-stage start-up to leading engineering departments at scale, and every stage in between.
What defines my career isn't any single technology or role — it's the ability to adapt. I've delivered production software in eight distinct industries, worked across consulting, product and in-house engineering environments, and navigated the full product lifecycle from a blank whiteboard to live systems serving millions of users.
Leadership has been a consistent thread throughout. I recruit, mentor and grow engineering teams, and I believe the best technical outcomes come from creating an environment where engineers can do their best work. I hold a BSc in Applied Computing from the University of Ulster, Magee College.
A selection of my most recent roles. My full career spans multiple decades and more than fifteen companies across a wide range of industries and environments.
EnergyCAP · Energy
I run the software development department for EnergyCAP's Dublin office, overseeing a team of up to six engineers working on the company's flagship energy management platform and its legacy systems. My responsibilities span hiring, technical direction, delivery planning and stakeholder management — ensuring the team ships reliably while maintaining a high engineering standard.
HubSpot · SaaS / E-commerce
I led the team responsible for the HubSpot–Shopify integration — one of HubSpot's most widely used third-party integrations. Leading a team of four, I was accountable for planning, designing and delivering new and enhanced functionality at the pace and quality expected of a world-class SaaS organisation. This role demanded both deep technical engagement and strong cross-functional collaboration.
Advarra · Pharmaceuticals
Over seven years I recruited and grew an engineering team of up to twelve people to create and maintain the Longboat platform — a clinical trial management system used by some of the largest pharmaceutical companies in the world. I owned the product from conception through to large-scale production deployment, navigating the regulatory rigour of the pharmaceutical industry while keeping the team motivated and the product evolving.

A career that has crossed sector boundaries — bringing fresh perspective and proven patterns to every new domain.
A broad toolkit accumulated over multiple decades — used pragmatically, not collected for its own sake.
I'm always open to interesting conversations — whether that's a new opportunity, a technical challenge, or just a chat about the industry.
