Summary

As a Dynamic Associate Software Developer at Charles River Laboratories, I specialized in using React and TypeScript to develop responsive and intuitive web applications. I excelled in collaborative settings, partnering with my team to enhance performance and deliver user-focused designs. Driven by a passion for leveraging cutting-edge technologies, I aimed to improve user experiences, ensuring our applications were functional, accessible, and scalable.

Recently, due to economic challenges and shifts in the political landscape, the pharmaceutical company I worked for in Ireland, which is run by an American company, had to make difficult decisions. Unfortunately, this led to my redundancy. Despite this setback, I am actively seeking new opportunities and am eager to bring my expertise and enthusiasm to a forward-thinking team. I am committed to continuous improvement and making a meaningful impact in my next role.
