I am delighted to have won TECS '24. My project focused on stream-processing what the student played on their keyboard in real-time and then comparing the score to the notes they actually played. I then calculated their accuracy, as well as returning sheet music of all the notes they correctly played. I used AI and ML to aid me in this process. More on my project here.
I hold 2 piano diplomas, a DipLCM in piano performance and a DipLCM(TD) in piano teaching from the London College of Music at the University of West London. I was awarded my first piano Diploma when I was 15 years old, and I received my teaching Diploma at 17 years old.
I have completed my Grade 8 in both piano practical ABRSM and music theory ABRSM.
I am a 3 time All-Ireland Junior Chess Champion. I have represented Ireland for chess on 7 different occasions. I have played in the European Youth Chess Championships three times in Prague, Romania, and Latvia.
I won a Munster Medal playing Limerick Minor Gaelic Football. I have also won 3x All-Ireland Basketball Championships. This one was with Crescent College Comprehensive, while I won another 2 with Limerick Celtics at u18 and u20.
I took part in the Computer Science CTYI EUE program in DCU during Transition Year. This is where my love for Software Engineering began.
