The Human

I'm Ronan. I've worked with enterprise, government, accountancy, educators, regulators, baristas, chefs, and the odd lawyer here and there. I have also worked in teaching, looked after ailing family members, and helped teach parents and families the digital literacy to stay safe in an increasingly treacherous online space - for ourselves, and particularly children. One thing that is ubiquitous across my experience technically is communication. Lateral, vertical, left, right, up or down - communication is a key lynchpin for any project, plan, piece of work, company, or person.
This is even more pertinent where any technical domain specific knowledge comes into consideration. Communication and comprehension in technical projects are paramount to success.


That's where I help.


With more than 9 years working across various technical projects, and decades prior with call center work, hospitality, teaching, research, (this listing things may get tiresome, so let's just say I know my stuff), I am uniquely positioned to be able to serve as a trusted and clear teacher and translator for your business and your home.

I will turn your needs into requirements that an intelligent system can handle, and help you make use of the tools already at your disposal - as well as show you how to avoid and understand the ones you don't need. I am not - nor will I ever be if I can help it - in sales, particularly for other companies. (some minor exceptions regarding my own personal enterprise may apply)
