Building at the
intersection of
finance & code.

Quant engineer and iOS developer based in Belfast, Northern Ireland. I build production-ready systems — from Monte Carlo option pricers and ML trading strategies to native Swift apps shipping on the App Store.

My work sits at the boundary between rigorous quantitative finance and practical software engineering: taking research-grade models into scalable services, and surfacing complex analytics behind intuitive interfaces.
