About me
Founder journey began at a young age impacted by war and political refugee status, where security and financial resilience became my passion. I went on to lead service delivery on Bank of Ireland Networks with BT Ireland after starting my career in Network Engineering with Orange Business Services. My background studies in Computer Applications and Media Technologies, encouraged my shift into Software Delivery where I soon had a Microsoft Customer Case Study published. The same project helped a prevent a significant case of insurance fraud in Irish Courts and recently served as workshop paper accepted by the EU AI Office to evaluate General Purpose AI on Systemic Risk. Today I lead twin project proposals under the EU Digital Europe Programme for Advanced Key Technologies and Implementation of EU Legalisation.
