Hi i'm James. Welcome to my website! This site is a work in progress, but the aim is to eventually present all my work and experiences in a single place so people can learn about me and what I have done.

I am a 23 year old computer scientist from Ireland. I recently graduated from University College Dublin and I am currently continuing my studies in UCD pursing a MSc in computer science.

Outside work and academia my interests revolve around martial arts and food...particularly sushi! I love training and competing in brazilian jiu-jitsu. BJJ was the first martial art I found and will always be my favourite. However, I am also a member of the UCD boxing team and enjoy my fair share of Muay Thai, Judo and wrestling too.
