Irish software engineer who loves to travel, explore new places, and take a few photos along the way.

about me.

Me, standing outside the Svalbard Global Seed Vault in December 2025. Although it looks bright, the polar night was in full force with no daylight from October to February.

hey! i'm dan.

I'm the one in the friend group who is basically never at home, and honestly at this point, it actually feels like I live in an airport. I love travelling and exploring new places, whether it's a group trip to Albufeira or somewhere more niche like Svalbard 🐻‍❄️.

Between travels and being at home in Ireland, I spend around 5 months a year in Akureyri, Iceland. I've somehow convinced myself that living in the cold and dark for half the year is perfectly desirable ❄️.

I'm a software engineer by day, and when I'm not chasing the norðurljós, I'm usually found tinkering with random personal projects or working on public sector services for the UK government 🏥.

I’m 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've been making conlangs in my free time for a few years now 🌍.
