2024–2025 · Co-founder and CTO

Blynksolve

As co-founder and CTO, I led the technical direction and implementation of two products. BlynkDesign gives manufacturing teams a shared view of their process and the knowledge behind each step. BlynkInsights helps teams view, monitor and analyse plant data through visual dashboards.

2021–2022 · Robotics engineer

Manna Drone Delivery

I was the robotics engineer responsible for payload delivery. I worked on PCB design, software, navigation, telecommunications and prototyping. I also designed and built tools for drone production, including an automated spooling machine.

PharmaDiagrams

I built PharmaDiagrams as a Blynksolve product for pharma process and technology transfer teams. Engineers can draw PFDs and P&IDs in the browser using ISA-5.1 and ISO 10628 symbols. Teams can share a live drawing, pin comments to it and review who changed each version.

2021 · Personal project

Robotic Vision Project

I built a robotic camera system around a Raspberry Pi. I used ONNX to run an optimised FastSal saliency model on the device. I submitted this as my final-year project for my Bachelor of Engineering in Electronics and Computer Engineering at Dublin City University, majoring in Semiconductor Devices.

2025 · Side project

PharmaSpotter

I built PharmaSpotter as a side project to help pharma teams find technology partners. Visitors can search by category, location, capabilities and compliance experience, then review vendor profiles before making contact.
