About me

Although I study many branches of programming, — well, "Software Development" is my course in ATU, Sligo, however the Web Development captivates me the most because it is where creativity meets functionality and convenience. The World Wide Web became a single point of connection for people all around the world, including presenting anything, whether that's a small café, or a hobby shop, or something bigger like a big tech company — literally anything. And so, every project — be it a product landing page, portfolio site, or online store — is an opportunity to solve real problems through thoughtful design and clean code.

What drives me most is the attention to detail required to combine the right tools, technologies, and UX principles. I am passionate about creating digital solutions that truly serve people's needs while pushing the boundaries of what is possible on the Web.

The other core interest of mine is calisthenics? Just like programming, it portrays my persistence, my strive for continuous development and life-long learning, as there is always space to become better.

But enough about me, let's see
what I am actually capable of!

What I build: my (actual) projects

Automated Media File Sorter | Bash, ExifTool, Linux

Solved my own painpoint: authored a robust Bash script to automate the sorting of thousands of photos and videos into a structured YYYY/MM/DD directory format.

Specifically:

  • Integrated external ExifTool to read and leverage file metadata, ensuring accurate chronological organization.
  • Engineered the script with user prompts and error-handling to ensure safe and reliable execution in a Linux/Unix command-line environment.
  • See the script execution in the video or on its Github.
Sorry, your browser doesn't support embedded videos.

Object-Oriented Fleet Management System | C#, .NET

Developed a console application in C# to model and manage a fleet of vehicles, demonstrated a strong understanding of OOP principles:

More technical features:

  • Implemented class hierarchies with inheritance to represent Standard and Hybrid vehicles, each with unique attributes and methods.
  • Leveraged GitHub Copilot to accelerate the debugging process and improve code quality, applying modern AI-assisted development techniques.
  • See the code on Github.

...and well, Why?

Since I am pursuing a major in Software Development, I see Web Design & Development as my way of changing the world for the better. Websites are everywhere — on our home devices, at work, powering everything from online shops to healthcare systems. Even a small inconsistency in accessibility, usability, or code quality can lead to serious consequences — frustrated users, broken systems, or barriers for people who rely on them. That’s what I aim to combat: building websites that are reliable, accessible, and designed for everyone.

The Ubiquity of Web Impact

Websites are everywhere — on our home devices where families manage their daily lives, at work where teams collaborate across continents, powering everything from small local businesses to global e-commerce platforms, from telemedicine systems that save lives to educational portals that democratize learning. Every click, every form submission, every user interaction ripples through real people's lives in tangible ways.

The Hidden Cost of Poor Development

Even a small inconsistency in accessibility, usability, or code quality can lead to serious consequences that extend far beyond technical metrics. A poorly designed checkout process doesn't just lose sales — it can prevent a small business owner from feeding their family. An inaccessible government website doesn't just fail compliance standards — it denies citizens their fundamental rights. A slow-loading healthcare portal doesn't just hurt performance scores — it can delay critical medical care. These aren't hypothetical scenarios; they're daily realities affecting millions of users who depend on these systems, like I do.

My Development Philosophy

That's what I aim to combat: building websites that are reliable, accessible, and designed for everyone. I believe that inclusive design isn't just a nice-to-have feature — it's a moral imperative. When I write code, I'm not just solving technical problems; I'm building bridges that connect people to opportunities, services, and each other. Every semantic HTML element, every carefully crafted CSS rule, every accessibility consideration is a step toward a more equitable digital world.

In the end, quality Web Development creates a positive cascade: businesses grow, users feel empowered, communities become more connected, and society becomes more inclusive. This is why I approach each project — whether it's a simple landing page or a complex e-commerce platform — with the understanding that good code can genuinely improve lives, one user experience at a time.
