David Kirby
Dublin
Summary
I have a varied background in customer support, sales, and hospitality, and I'm now making a successful transition into software development/application support. While working full-time, I completed a Full Stack Software Development course and am currently enrolled in a Level 8 program from 2025, set to graduate in Dec 2026. I've gained practical experience with SQL databases, web apps, and biometric hardware. My journey highlights my ability to reskill and adapt at a quick pace to different knowledge domains and I believe this would allow me to become a valued addition to any team.
