Computer engineer. I build machines that think, trade and move.
Open to internships
I'm Rory, a Computer Engineering student at Trinity College Dublin. Here's what I do, in five components.
I write programs that watch the markets around the clock and buy or sell on their own, with strict rules about how much they're allowed to risk. Below is the real Bitcoin price, right now.
Last 24 hours. Updates every 30 seconds.
Many cars leave the factory with features already built into the dashboard screen, just switched off. I take apart the software inside Volkswagen MIB2 and BMW NBT EVO (iDrive 5 and 6) units, which run the QNX Neutrino operating system, to switch those features on, rewrite the settings stored in their memory chips, and build new features of my own.
Microcontrollers are computers smaller than a fingernail, and they're inside almost everything. Computers only count in ones and zeros, so here is the time in Dublin the way a chip sees it. Each lit light is a 1.
Add up the numbers above the lit lights to read each row.
If a job has to be done more than twice, I write a program to do it for me. Backups, reports, price alerts, tidying files: small programs that run on a schedule, every day, without anyone pressing a button.
Most businesses already have the data to see how they're doing: sales, customers, bookings, stock. I build reports that pull it together and show what's working, what isn't, and what to do next, in plain English rather than spreadsheets.
An experimental wireless CarPlay receiver that brings a real iPhone’s interface to a native macOS window over Bluetooth and Wi-Fi.
A fast, Apple TV-style home screen for Amazon Fire TV, plus a script that switches off Fire OS's background bloat.
A C++20 feed handler that decodes Nasdaq's binary ITCH 5.0 market data feed and rebuilds the order book for every stock, in about 89 ns per message.
It's --:-- in Dublin.
Open to internships in software, embedded systems and data. I reply within a couple of days.
