Biography

An aspiring biography writer who lacks inspiration...

Having grown up in Ireland, I started learning to code towards the end of high school. I studied Computer & Electronic Engineering where I took courses in telecommunications, embedded systems and SOC. Realising a greater passion for software I was offered an internship at Intercom and never looked back at hardware again.

Before PostHog, I was the founder of a Y Combinator company. We built 6 different products in 3.5 years before I eventually decided it was time for a change.
