about me

Me:

Hi, I'm James! 😃 Thanks for visiting my site. I'm a 31 year old fullstack software/ML engineer living in San Francisco, CA. I grew up in the lovely city of Galway in the west and lived there most of my life. You can read a little bit more about me below, and scroll through the pictures above.

What I like:

Really passionate about all things tech. Love clean code, simple designs and playing with new tech.

I played hurling at a high level during school - love keeping fit, going to the gym and eating well.

Travelling is a big passion of mine. I have seen a lot of Europe, America, and been to Dubai + Cape Town.

Love socialising and having the craic over a few pints, and especially meeting new people.
