About Me

Hello, I'm Angelo! I'm a software engineer based in Dublin, Ireland, with a strong focus on full-stack development and AI-driven automation. Since the start of my career I have been dedicated to continuously learning and applying modern software practices — from architecting web platforms to designing intelligent workflows that help businesses operate more efficiently. Currently, as Principal Software Engineer at LDS Carpentry Ltd, I am building the company's entire digital infrastructure from scratch: the public website, automated quotation systems, project administration tooling via Jira, and an ERP platform currently in active development.

Much of my time is invested in bridging the gap between engineering capability and real business value — finding practical ways to automate manual processes, reduce friction, and deliver software that genuinely moves the needle. I thrive on ownership and end-to-end responsibility, and I am actively seeking opportunities with ambitious teams in Ireland and globally.

Some of the technologies I work with:

TypeScript
C#
React / Next.js
Python
JavaScript
Java
