Platform engineer at Loweconex since 2023.
Before that, a year writing C# for architects.
At Loweconex, I build and run the platform our software team uses to release and monitor its services. That includes shared pipelines, Kubernetes, the monitoring stack and Heimdall, our deployment dashboard.
My work now includes AI services too. I took Clarity from a colleague’s prototype into production, where customers use it to query their data. I also built Nightshift for engineering agents working on Jira tickets, PR reviews, security automation and incidents.
Alongside work, I completed an MSc in Artificial Intelligence with Distinction. My dissertation studied how Kubernetes recovers after a node failure. At home, a Raspberry Pi cluster runs Home Assistant for the lights and sensors in my flat.
01 / Experience
Aug 2023 – present / Lisburn, Northern Ireland
Platform Engineer
I build and run shared delivery pipelines, Kubernetes infrastructure, monitoring and developer tools for the software team. More recently, I’ve developed AI services for customers and engineering agents, alongside production support.
Aug 2021 – Aug 2022 / Magherafelt, Northern Ireland
Software Developer (industrial placement)
I built C#/.NET applications using the Tekla Structures API and integrated design tools to automate drafting tasks for the in-house architects.
02 / Education
2026 · alongside work
Queen's University Belfast / Distinction
My dissertation studied which workloads Kubernetes should recover when a failed node leaves too little capacity. I tested the scheduler on Amazon EKS.
2019 – 2023
Queen's University Belfast / 2:1
First-class dissertation on deep learning for stock-price prediction.
