Research, software,
and people.

How I got here

During my PhD at Trinity, I researched how sound and mouth movements can help a model recognise speech. I proposed AV Align, developed Taris for online decoding, and shared the implementations as open-source projects. That research led to seven first-author papers, including follow-up journal work published in 2022.

At Xperi, I developed speech recognition for a low-power processor. At Herbst Software, I moved closer to customers, combining product management with development, DevOps, and support. At Honeywell, I now work on building models and automation.

Why forward deployed engineering?

I want to bring those experiences together: understand a customer’s problem, work through the technical constraints, build with the people who will use the system, and carry the work through to deployment.

Working in support made the human side of software much more concrete for me. I want to keep that connection as I continue working in AI.

Outside work

I’m part of Bray Runners and enjoy participating and volunteering at parkrun. Running gives me a sense of progress and community. Reading brings in perspectives from business, psychology, science, and lives very different from my own.

This site is a place for both sides: the engineering work and the things that keep me curious.
