Backend developer working in Ruby and Elixir, with a Bachelor's in Applied Computer Science. I gravitate to gnarly data problems and warm communities — and I'm happiest when the two overlap.
Day Job
Vizlegal - Smart legal intelligence
Lead backend engineer on the ingestion platform powering Vizlegal's legal intelligence product — search, analytics, and AI over 5M+ documents from Irish, UK, EU, and US courts. Equal parts engineering and data archaeology; some of these rulings predate the typewriter.
- ETL pipelines that pull, parse, and enrich thousands of court documents daily.
- Search, filtering, and citation resolution across multi-jurisdictional archives.
- AI features — case summarisation, custom keyword alerts, automated court calendars.
- Analytics on judges, firms, and litigation patterns.
