About

Engineering leadership
for growing teams

Hi 👋 i'm Brian. My goal is to deliver pragmatic engineering leadership that balances speed with quality.

I've been lucky enough to work with many startups over my 11+ years of experience - across healthcare, AI, blockchain, education, and SaaS. I specialise in the messy middle - where MVPs need to become real products and teams need technical direction.

Former university lecturer in web development at UCC (MSc level). I'm currently pursuing the AIGP (AI Governance Professional) certification, so I can better align clients with incoming AI regulations in the EU.
