Building high-performing customer-obsessed teams and products.

Work

Amazon

2018 — Now

I'm a senior engineering manager with Amazon Web Services where I lead a global team building AWS infrastructure so that you can build on AWS. We're always hiring so get in touch.

Paddy Power Betfair (Flutter)

2017 — 2018

Previously, I was a head of engineering for Paddy Power Betfair — part of the Flutter group — where I ran Risk & Trading Technology. We built the models and sports simulation tools that powered PPB’s trading and pricing engines. We also built real-time risk management and automation tooling for sports traders.

GameStop

2008 — 2016

Before that, I was an engineering director with GameStop. My focus was on building and leading the team that delivers GameStop’s multi-channel capabilities: ecommerce, in-store commerce, customer service and fulfillment systems, public and internal APIs, loyalty programs, and mobile apps.

Sport

I'm a slow half-marathon runner and a semi-enthusiastic Barry's Bootcamper. I'm also a retired powerlifter and former President (2018–2022) of the Irish Powerlifting Federation (an IPF affiliate). Before any of that, I played rugby for a decade as a hooker.

Family

I live in Seattle with my wife, our beautiful daughter, and a very cute dog that thinks she’s a cat. I miss Dublin deeply but I am falling in love with our new home.

Get In Touch

I'm always excited to talk about interesting leadership, performance, culture, or technology challenges. How can I help you?
