I ran Sensible Money which was an organisation attempting to educate about the origin and effects of electronic money, ultimately as a means of resolving the eurozone debt crisis.Specifically we wish to explain how electronic money is created and 'deleted' and we also aim to highlight the effects that this system has on the economy. Many of our economic and social problems can be traced to the current banking system.We have a detailed proposal for how we could gradually transition the eurozone towards a banking system that recognises electronic money as the main medium of exchange. In summary, we would declare all bank deposits as legal tender such that they could be removed as liabilities of the banking sector.

On a yearly basis since 2009 I teach secondary school subjects, primarily Maths, as a home tutor during the month of July under the Department of Education's home tuition program. I have had various students of different age and ability and I've really enjoyed the rewards of teaching.

I worked as a consulting civil/structural engineer with PH McCarthy in Dublin, Ireland for over three years. This was during a very intense period of construction in which I became proficient at designing using timber, steel, reinforced concrete, pre-stressed concrete and structural glass. I also became very capable at using AutoCAD and various engineering software.Acting as architect on two projects, and as a part-time site engineer on another, I have some diverse experience from my time there.
