About Me

I'm Callum, a Computer Science and Business student at Trinity College Dublin. I like building things that solve real problems — whether that's an AI tool that helps radiologists triage brain scans faster, a platform that warns elderly people before a heatwave puts them at risk, or a Chrome extension that helps people learn Irish without even trying.

Most of what I build comes from hackathons and side projects. I'm drawn to the intersection of technology and impact — using code to make something that actually matters to someone. I work a lot with AI APIs, and I'm comfortable picking up whatever stack a project needs.

Outside of coding, I'm involved in the Trinity Student Managed Fund analysing tech hardware companies, and I'm a member of the Claude Building Society (Anthropic-supported). I also play rugby, train at the gym, and have a background in finance and economics.
