“Isn't it enough to see that a garden is beautiful without
having to believe that there are fairies at the bottom of it too?”
MICHAEL CRONIN
ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE & MACHINE LEARNING STUDENT
I'm studying Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning at the University of Limerick, where I focus on designing smart, adaptable systems. Through my internship at Dell Technologies, I've gained hands-on experience working with real-world data, developing efficient tools, and contributing to innovative tech solutions. I enjoy solving meaningful problems and continuously exploring new ideas in AI, design, and software development.
INTERESTS

Stuff I've Done...
Portfolio Website
Fully responsive personal site built with Next.js and Tailwind. Features dark mode, animated tabs, and a photography lightbox gallery. Deployed on Vercel.
Plastic Type Classifier
Multimodal pipeline using CNNs on hyperspectral imagery to detect plastic types and link them to health risk profiles.
AI Image Generation
Streamlit app powered by Fooocus that converts photos into stylized cartoon art. Runs in Docker with a simple UI.
AI Data Analyst Dashboard
Interactive Streamlit app that combines PandasAI with an Ollama LLM backend. Users can upload CSVs and ask natural-language questions to generate insights, plots, and summaries automatically.
Multimodal AI Inference Server
Built a local inference pipeline using vLLM to serve Pixtral, a multimodal vision-language model from Hugging Face. The setup mimics OpenAI's API and connects to Open WebUI for interactive image+text analysis.
Autonomous Agents with n8n
Built a modular agent system using n8n to automate tasks like scraping web content, managing Gmail inboxes, and checking calendar availability. Each workflow is customizable and runs with minimal user input.
