About Me

I'm Lead Full Stack Engineer at Milk Bottle Labs. We build amazing Shopify stores and integrate with third-party APIs and services to push your Shopify store build to the next level.

I lead our development team that investigates, specifies and codes solutions for our clients - everything from custom theme design to private apps for deep integrations with third-party systems and everything in-between.

In 2019 I completed a M.Sc. in Digital Forensics in UCD. When I'm not busy building arcade cabinets I'm honing my Laravel, Flask, React, Vue and GraphQL skills so I can bring our Shopify builds to the next level.

Project: Lazycade

Scrawled on paper, refined in SketchUp, built by an amazing maker (KentuckyFightCraft) I found on Etsy and powered by a RaspberryPi. The supurb RetroPi is the OS with Emulation Station providing the front-end sugar. This idea came about when I built a table-top arcade cabinet with a similar spec that was massive and weighed a ton. My daughter complained it was too big to play in bed (fair enough). So I designed an arcade cabinet that sits comfortably on your lap or under/over your duvet.
