Profile

I am a Bachelor of Arts graduate from the National University of Ireland Maynooth, looking to transition into the software engineering industry.
In 2018, I co-founded RCH Technologies with my husband, which allowed me to combine my passion for healthy eating and diet - specifically for families with young children, with technology.
I am looking to build on my experience and passion, and move my focus to application engineering, so I can deliver concepts end to end - from ideation to fruition.
