Hi, I'm James.

I'm a software engineer based in Dublin, currently working on social shopping and AI-powered product discovery at Zalando.

I'm passionate about productivity, AI, and user interface design, especially where they come together to make software feel faster, calmer, and more useful.

I like building products end to end, from backend systems and distributed services to focused interfaces people can actually use. Outside work, that includes Lucira , Hazumi News , and Metafast API .
