I'm John. I'm a graduate student, I studied a BSc (Honours) Computing degree at National College of Ireland. I'm self-teaching myself a secondary language which is Japanese and hope to pass N5 level at the end of year. I love software development with a passion and love the aspects like the planning process and the setting up Jira/GIT and organising how to execute a project. I have a big passion for development in iOS/Mac. I'm currently working on my fourth year project which is an iOS application built in MVVM architecture and hoping to release it on the App Store next year.
I like to go outside what I know. I want to learn about technologies in machine learning, artificial intelligence and more. I love working in iOS technologies using Swift. I believe in always learning new things. I would also like to learn about game-development and strictly make games as a hobby. I plan to use Unreal Engine 5 and learn C++ to make games.
As mentioned, I am currently undergoing language learning in Japanese, I enjoy Japanese culture and the language and would love to talk directly with Japanese people
I'm a casual gamer, I enjoy all sorts of video games as much as the next guy like Role-Playing-Games to shooters to science fiction.
I enjoy randomly searching up on topics that interest me, I have been looking into addictions recently.
I love playing and learning songs on my accoustic and electric guitar
