I'm a Cloud Computing student at TU Dublin with a strong interest in infrastructure, DevOps, networking, automation and cloud platforms.
I enjoy building systems that connect software, infrastructure and monitoring — from automated cloud workflows to production-style monitoring and authentication systems.
Currently focused on building practical projects with Python, Docker, Linux, AWS, Azure and modern DevOps tooling.
Also: Node-RED · InfluxDB · Arduino · ESP32 · Cisco Networking · CCNA
A production-style campus attendance and room occupancy monitoring platform developed as my final-year project at TU Dublin.
