BSc Data Science & AI, TU Dublin
Hi, I'm Richard.
I build intelligent systems, data-driven applications and practical software.
About
A little about me
Learn about me, my background, and what I enjoy building.
Who I Am
From CodeAcademy at the age of 10 to Data Science at TU Dublin at 19, I've always loved analysing and creating solutions to everyday problems through automation! Created the coding club in Skerries Community College, allowing likeminded people to get together in a space to brainstorm and learn to code together! My experience as a Prefect, Headboy and Waiter has given me excellent communication skills, and well needed patience.
What I Study
Data Science and AI helped me learn how to program, taught me about algorithms, software development, databases and systems architecture. I've been taught how to analyse datasetes, crate functional data pipelines and build a foundation in machine learning using libraries such as pandas, matplotlib and scikit-learn.
What I Enjoy Building
As a person who always looks for the fastest, most efficient way of doing things, automation has always been my strong suit. Building automated solutions to daily life problems helps me stay motiivated and keeps me building.
