About me
Hey! 👋 I’m Dan, a full-stack developer from Northern Ireland. I’m studying for a BSc at Ulster University while working at Kainos on healthcare projects for clients such as the NHSBSA. I’ve been programming since I was 7; building my skills through various courses and certifications over the years. 🎓
I’m a co-founder and board member of Verglas, a Belfast-based EdTech and events company / social enterprise. Since 2022, I have overseen the delivery of many STEM events designed to make coding fun for younger students, reaching over 300 students (and growing!) from across NI. 🤝
I love to travel, with over 150.000km of flights and 25 countries visited, but Iceland will always hold a special place in my heart. From exploring its rugged terrain under summer’s midnight sun, to winter’s cosy nights, magical norðurljós and exhilarating Snocross scene – I’m lucky to call it home for half the year. 🇮🇸
I’m also a passionate linguist, having always been fascinated with phonology and morphology. I’m fascinated by how language influences culture, identity, and how we view the world – and how the physical environment influences language and the way we think. I love making conlangs in my free time. 🌍

TRAVELS
I’ve travelled to over 25 countries so far – mostly across Europe but also the USA – and I’m constantly scanning online for my next trip away. Sometimes that’ll mean hopping on a flight somewhere new and far away, interrailing across Europe, or just a road trip through the counties of Ireland. ✈️
I love exploring new cities and landscapes, taking photos that capture the moment, and making new stories with my friends that I can look back on and share later in life. 🌎
I’m also a DiscoverEU ambassador, giving me the chance to share my passion for exploring Europe with others. 🇪🇺
