About

I'm a recent Computer Science & Business graduate from Trinity College Dublin, where I earned a First Class Honours degree with a Gold Medal — awarded for achieving over 75% in my final result.

I'm drawn to the intersection of technology and real-world problems. I co-founded Helio AI to automate safety compliance in construction, researched how LLMs can compromise document privacy, and built automation tools for financial reporting.

Outside of building, I led Trinity's Entrepreneurial Society as President, was a Patch Fellow in San Francisco, and have worked across startups (YC-backed Affix API), consulting (Deloitte), and banking (Wells Fargo).

LLM Unredaction Research

Investigated whether large language models can unredact sensitive information in classified medical documents. Proved a fine-tuned BERT model could recover redacted entities from context alone, then developed improved redaction methods using LLMs to rewrite text and prevent profiling.

Automated Financial Reports
