Hi! I'm John

A Photo of me!

I'm 19 and really interested in all things tech. I've worked on a range of projects from AI for anti-phishing to robotics projects, like a carparking robot & a robot dog and everything in between. I've even written software that was run on the ISS (twice).

I'm really interested in startups and have been lucky enough to be involved in the Irish ecosystem as a member of the Patch Accelerator, and a winner of an NDRC Founder's Weekend. I'm always up for a chat!

  • 2 Projects in 2 Years, both of which had runtime on the International Space Station
  • The first measured Crop Density via NDVI with a Near Infra-Red Camera. [Github]
  • The second measured the occurence of cosmic rays via scintillations in a CMOS sensor, recreating the experiments of Victor Hess

Some other Projects

Random Projects

  • [SatTrack] a Satellite Tracking Software
  • [Blog Bot] a discord bot that would allow you to micro blog easily, just send a message into a channel called #blog and it would appear on the site
  • [Rust Fetch] neofetch caused a ~1 second delay when I would launch a terminal, so I rewrote it rust. 100% a waste of time, but Rust is cool
