Over time, I've actively participated in and contributed to numerous projects. At this link, you can explore my contributions on GitHub

While I have many more projects than I could post on there, here are some projects that I currently feel proud of.

I will try post them as they come, but no promises!

  I participated in the HackTrinity 2024 hackathon with my team (DiligenceAI). This year's theme focused on Generative AI in Law.

• I designed and printed "ears savers" for hospitals and healthcare workers (May 2020)
  During my transition year, upon learning the struggle of healthcare workers with new masks restrictions and the pain they caused in the ears, I learnt how to use my 3D printer, and designed mask holders aiming to hold the mask instead of the ear. Some were distributed to Mater Hospital , but others made it during the international nurses day at: Beaumont Hospital, St Vincent, Royal Victoria Ear and Eyes Hospital, St Columcille’s and nursing homes.

  Participated and won 1st place in the IOT4Food (Internet of Things For Food) competition hosted at University College Dublin. Built an automated greenhouse using Arduino's with USB+Bluetooth, watering, heating and air fans capabilities. (Source.)
