Summary
I’m a games development student at IT Carlow. I’ve worked at Ericsson’s R&D section as a software engineer, working on visualising data in browsers. I also label myself a co-founder of The Flax Project, focusing on the development of a HTML5 game engine. I’ve gravitated towards web development, specifically HTML5 games. However, I also have a grounding in much lower-level technology, like C++ and OpenGL, and in what little free time I have, I enjoy amateur robotics. I’ll work on anything that’s interesting. I love trying to solve real-world problems, especially through games.

Specialties
Java, JavaScript, HTML5, GWT, C++

Skills

Experience
Flax Project 06/2010 - Present
Co-Founder, Games Developer, Engine Programmer, Blogger
A fellow student, Ciarán McCann, and I decided to make a HTML5 game engine during the first summer of our college years. We had been offered office space by the college after our participation in a Java AI programming contest and later the ACM inter-collegiate programming competition, so we were stuck for a project. Myself and Ciarán learned several new frameworks and languages, not to mention HTML5 features, and sat down to write the engine. It’s still not finished, as college has been in the way, but I still count it as an achievement. Check it out!

Software Engineer (Intern)
Ericsson contacted me because of my work at Flax and offered me a job. I’m still in college, but I took it for the summer. I worked with somewhat similar technology (HTML5 and GWT) as for Flax. I worked on a project to do with visualising data in browsers.
