Technology Working for Users

Currently bringing modern M365 to one of Europe's most technologically advanced private hospitals. Across a number of roles I have owned strategy, standards, risk and escalation across endpoints, identity, collaboration, and connectivity while partnering with range of vendors on delivery locally, nationally and internationally.

From Microsoft 365 governance and Power Platform automation through to event-critical infrastructure for broadcast and live scoring, my focus is durable outcomes — documented, secure, and usable by the people the technology serves.

Selected Projects

AI-Assisted App Builds

Two client tools deployed for Cricket Ireland. One personal AI workspace and portfolio platform, self-hosted and in daily use. All three were built using an AI-assisted development workflow — conversational design, iterative implementation with AI code assistants, and continuous refinement against real operational needs. The approach is not about using AI as a shortcut; it is about using it as an accelerator while retaining human judgement over architecture, security, usability, and operational fit. Security was central throughout: authentication is handled through existing trusted identity layers including Microsoft Entra ID, Microsoft Teams, SharePoint, and Google OAuth. Secrets and production data are kept outside the repositories, and access is shaped around clear user roles and data boundaries.

Bowling Load Tracker

arrow_outward

A secure Azure-hosted workload monitoring platform for Cricket Ireland bowlers. The system lets players log sessions, gives coaches visibility over assigned players, and uses ACWR calculations to flag workload spikes before they become injury risks.

Node.js, Express, PostgreSQL, Azure App Service, Entra ID, Microsoft Graph, Microsoft Teams
  • Designed and delivered a secure bowling workload monitoring application for Cricket Ireland, enabling players, coaches, and administrators to track bowling sessions and monitor injury risk through Acute:Chronic Workload Ratio analysis.
  • Built a Node.js/Express application with PostgreSQL persistence, Azure App Service hosting, Microsoft Entra ID authentication, Microsoft Graph role resolution, and Microsoft Teams personal app integration.
  • Implemented role-based dashboards for players, coaches, and administrators, including coach-player assignments, CSV import/export, configurable thresholds, weekly targets, trend charts, and Teams channel notifications.

McLellan Hub Personal

arrow_outward

A private AI workspace and portfolio platform — personal tooling — combining multi-model chat, project memory, document analysis, source-linked research, export workflows, and recruiter-facing portfolio AI.

Node.js, Express, EJS, SQLite, Google OAuth, AI provider integrations
  • Built a self-hosted AI workspace combining private multi-model chat, project memory, document upload, source-linked research, portfolio content management, and public AI-assisted CV experiences.
  • Developed a Node.js/Express and EJS platform using SQLite, Google OAuth, subdomain routing, model configuration, request logging, document extraction, answer export to Word/PDF/Google Docs, and recruiter-facing AI chat.
  • Implemented practical AI governance features including prompt-injection guards, rate limiting, private project context, searchable recall, per-user model routing, and logging of model usage, cost, tokens, and response quality.

MRVR

arrow_outward

A SharePoint Framework reporting tool for Cricket Ireland match referees. It captures venue reports, stores structured answers in SharePoint, retrieves previous reports for the same venue, and carries forward unresolved venue notes so operational knowledge is not lost between fixtures.

SharePoint Framework, React, TypeScript, Fluent UI, SharePoint REST API
  • Built a SharePoint Framework web part for Cricket Ireland match referees to capture structured venue reports and preserve operational knowledge across fixtures.
  • Developed a React/TypeScript SPFx solution using Fluent UI and SharePoint REST APIs to save structured report data, readable summaries, and match metadata into a SharePoint list.
  • Implemented venue history lookup, live summary preview, required-field validation, and carry-forward notes so unresolved venue issues are surfaced automatically to future officials.
