Hey, I'm Colm — a Irish-based Full Stack Software Developer with a strong background in technology such as fixing computers and solving real-world technical problems. I enjoy breaking down complex challenges and building clean, reliable web applications using Python and TypeScript.
About Me
I am an Ireland-based Junior Full Stack Software Developer with a strong, hands-on background in both software development and computer hardware. I completed a Diploma in Full Stack Software Development with Code Institute, where I built and deployed multiple real-world applications across frontend and backend technologies.
My technical experience includes building full-stack web applications using Python, Django, JavaScript, HTML, and CSS, working with databases such as PostgreSQL and MongoDB, and integrating third-party services including payment systems and external APIs. I also have professional experience working with ERP systems, e-commerce platforms, and structured product data.
Alongside my coursework, I have taken part in Code Institute hackathons, including Frontend Frenzy, where our team placed 2nd. These experiences strengthened my ability to collaborate, communicate ideas clearly, and deliver features under time constraints.
I also enjoy working with infrastructure and hardware projects. One example is a custom-built home NAS server configured using TrueNAS with a RAID-Z1 array, providing reliable, fault-tolerant storage. This project reflects my interest in systems, data integrity, and understanding how software interacts with underlying hardware.
Beyond coding, I am actively involved in hurling with my local club Killanena in Clare and enjoy contributing to tech communities as a Community Lead in the Code Institute Discord. I am currently seeking a junior software developer role where I can continue learning, contribute to real-world projects, and grow within a supportive development team.
