Hi! I'm John

A Photo of me!

I'm 19 and passionate about tech. I've worked on a range of projects from AI for anti-phishing to robotics projects, like a carparking robot & a robot dog. I've even written software that was run on the ISS.

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 (Which I came back to help run the following year), 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
