Hire the Best Embedded Systems Engineers
in Ireland

I’m a Software Engineer with a strong foundation in both systems and software engineering, driven by a passion for building scalable and maintainable infrastructure. At Microsoft where I currently work, I’m part of the 1ES (One Engineering System) team, where I help improve developer productivity across the company. I work on services that deliver easily customizable, infrastructure-as-code-defined VM templates, enabling engineers to get up and running with ready-to-code environments in minutes. These solutions are already seeing wide adoption across Microsoft, helping reduce engineering costs while improving consistency and speed. Before that, I was at AWS, where I worked on maintaining hardware load balancers serving a large share of Amazon and AWS traffic, while also contributed to building automated migration services that enabled over 1,000 teams to move to newer Elastic Load Balancing technologies. The system cut down migration time from weeks of manual effort to zero-touch, sub-day workflows—all with zero downtime and built-in safety guardrails. I’ve worked closely with over 100 teams, handled 24/7 on-call support, and delivered high-impact solutions using Java, DynamoDB, and Terraform. These experiences have shaped my ability to operate at scale, deliver reliability under pressure, and drive meaningful improvements for other engineers. I care about writing clean, maintainable code, designing resilient systems, and building tools that let others do their best work—faster.

My commercial experience has been primarily in embedded software development for home automation systems - C programming, microcontollers (PIC, Atmel AVR and STM32s), real-time operating systems, API design and communication protocols. I have a significant amount of experience with server-side development and relational databases also however - in Perl / CGI and PostgreSQL primarily. I have a first-class Bachelors degree of Electrical & Electronic Engineering. I can offer tuition to students, but do not ever contact me asking me to do assignments for you.

I am an architect and builder of backend systems that handle millions of transactions, process data at scale, and stay resilient under pressure. Over 30 years of professional experience across telecoms, financial services, eCommerce, industrial automation, and high-performance computing have given me a deep understanding of what it takes to deliver systems that actually work in production — not just on paper. My career has been built on two pillars: technical depth and structured methodology. I write production code in Java (since 1996) and C++ (since 1984), and I architect the systems around it — from data models and API contracts to deployment strategies and fault tolerance. I'm equally comfortable designing a distributed architecture from scratch and diving into code to solve a performance bottleneck. Clients I've delivered for include Jet-com/Walmart, McLane, Accenture, Vodafone, Nokia-Siemens Networks, Amadeus, and several major Italian Banks. Beyond individual contributor work, I've led engineering teams in complex environments and critical projects. My approach to architecture is systematic and documentation-driven. Every engagement follows a structured process: requirements analysis, boundary condition mapping, data model definition, security strategy, component selection (with a strong preference for well-maintained open-source), API and protocol design, and deployment planning, including clustering, geo-distribution, redundancy, and fault tolerance. Security is not a layer I add at the end — it's embedded in how I think about every design decision. Zero-trust architectures, TLS/SSL, OAuth2/OIDC, RBAC, and CI/CD pipeline hardening are foundational elements, not afterthoughts. I deliver production systems that perform, scale, and hold up under real-world conditions. If your project needs an architect who also codes, leads teams, and takes ownership end-to-end — let's talk.

Experienced Software Engineer with a demonstrated history of working in the automotive industry. Skilled in Automotive Functional safety(ISO 26262), AUTOSAR, , C++ , C, CAN, LIN, Ethernet, CAPL, Electronics, and Simulink. Strong engineering professional with a Bachelor of Applied Science (B.A.Sc.) focused in Electrical, Electronics and Communications Engineering from Faculty of Engineering, Alexandria University.

I build real-time simulation, automation, and AI systems that replace expensive hardware testing and enable smarter robotics. At Thermo King, I built a HiL rig + Simulink digital twin that cut testing time and developed an LSTM & CNN autoencoder to detect hidden failures in time-series sensor data. I also co-founded an AI robotics startup where I led ML + controls engineering for autonomous welding. At forge i developed cloud infrastructure for GPU accelerated robotics reinforcement learning using Nvidia Omniverse suite (Isaac & Lab), i also developed a pipeline that uses OpenCV + OpenAI LLM to detect user specified weld edges, and controls a robot to execute over ROS2 Graduated University of Galway at top the of my class with a Master's in mechanical engineering, with minor in Electrical, Controls and Ai engineering. Founded Forge robotics, a startup focused on delivering Ai powered welding to industrial robotics, part of Irelands first Ai startup accelerator

With over 30 years of professional industrial experience, I am highly competent in all aspects of Electronic Hardware Design - from design specification through to product delivery. I have developed my skills while working with a variety of companies, ranging from start-ups to US multi-nationals. I have a Masters Degree in Electronic Systems. I have experience in CPLDs, FPGAs, CPUs, MCUs, WiFi, Bluetooth, MODBus, Touch Displays, Sensors, High Speed/High Integrity PCB design, Low-power design, Design for Test (DFT), design for compliance, etc., etc. I have many years experience with professional PCB Design CAD - Cadence (Orcad, Allegro), Altium and Mentor Graphics PADS. My experience and attention to detail is valuable to my clients and I do not aim to compete on purely financial terms with low-cost suppliers.
