I build products, teams, and side projects.
I'm an engineering manager and frontend engineer. I started out in marketing in Dublin, moved to London for seven years in fashion and gambling, then found coding and never went back.
These days I lead engineering teams and build things on the side — mostly small products that scratch an itch. Based in Barcelona.
Upvote, downvote and discuss any page on the web.
The web lost its comment section. Opinion8 is a Chrome extension and companion site that puts a voting and discussion layer on top of any URL, so a page's reputation travels with it. The interesting part was keeping reads fast across millions of URLs while writes stay cheap.
Guess the rent of a real London listing. Five guesses to win.
A small game built out of frustration with the London rental market. You see a real listing and guess the monthly rent; get within £50 in five tries and you win. Listings are scraped and normalised nightly, and the guess distribution turned out to be a decent informal survey of what people think renting costs.
