Keith loves to be challenged and dives right into to projects he is assigned. He has a lot of knowledge already, but is very capable of learning on the fly as well. He can maintain all aspects of the product lifecycle, and is adaptable to changing requirements on an agile basis. His input into projects is very valuable, and always results in a better output. I would have no hesitation in recommending him for any role.

      Professional Musician and Group Administrator My colleagues and I in Coláiste Lurgan initiated the TG Lurgan YouTube channel to create a ‘buzz’ around the Irish language through pop music and social media. Today the channel has over 32 million hits on YouTube. We created the band Seo Linn to take this exciting Irish language experience on the road, touring our as Gaeilge cover songs both nationally and internationally.

      Currently completing a 3 month internship with the rapidly expanding Parkpnp as a Junior Developer. Developing app features in Ruby within the Ruby on Rails framework, in an Agile work environment. Parkpnp is one of Europe's fastest growing parking apps, matching under-utilised parking spaces with drivers to solve the global parking crisis. One space at a time. One city at a time. "I learned Ruby and Ruby on Rails under guidance of the company’s CTO, wrote RSPEC unit tests for the Parkpnp code base, making small fixes and maintenance changes. Worked in a team of three developers in an agile working environment with daily scrums. This included creating models, views and controllers, implementing database relationships using PostgreSQL database, and implementing a basic front-end using Bootstrap." Major accomplishments: • Learned Ruby and Ruby on Rails proficiently in two weeks, began work on codebase. • Developed a parking management SaaS from scratch in a team of three developers. • This SaaS is currently being deployed with pilot companies in Ireland and abroad.
