// about
I'm a cybersecurity student at Technological University Dublin with a background spanning AI automation, hardware systems, and digital forensics. I build things that work: automation tools that generate real returns, AI agents that explore emergent behaviour, and home lab infrastructure that mirrors production environments. I'm drawn to complex systems: understanding how they fail, how they can be exploited, and how to make them resilient. My thinking is neurodivergent by nature: I follow threads others overlook, sit with problems until patterns emerge, and rarely accept “that’s just how it works” as an answer.

European Digital Media Observatory
Dublin City University · European Commission
EDMO operates under direct mandate from the European Commission as part of the European Democracy Action Plan. Bringing together fact-checkers, academics, and technology experts across all EU member states, it coordinates a network of independent researchers providing policy intelligence to the European Parliament and national governments on disinformation threats and information ecosystem integrity, serving as the backbone of the EU's digital literacy and media accountability infrastructure.

What I've built
Marketplace Intelligence System
Autonomous system that identifies resale opportunities across online marketplaces using computer vision and pricing intelligence. Incorporates ROI calculation, risk scoring, and human-in-the-loop decision gates. Has generated measurable financial returns.
Multi-Agent AI Sandbox
A controlled research environment running inside a fully sandboxed virtual machine. Autonomous agents interact with browser environments and simulated platforms to study emergent communication, coordination, and system-level behaviour dynamics. Designed as an experimental laboratory for AI interaction research.
