I'm a third year computer science student at Trinity College Dublin, based in Dublin, Ireland, and I spent summer 2026 as an intern at Project Eleven, designing and building post-quantum cryptography infrastructure.

I'm interested in understanding how things break, and how to build them so they don't.
