My name is Ronan and I have been a Full Stack Software Developer now for almost 20 years. Having always had a passion for all things digital, I have continuously educated myself in new languages, techniques and processes in the digital age. From graphic design, to back end development, to video editing and audio creation, I never shy away from a challenge.

I currently am Co-Founder and Technical Director for Evide. We provide SaaS Applications to the 3rd party sector to monitor and evaluate the benefit they bring to their communities, through data analytics, CRM systems and Charting/Reporting tools.

In my spare time, I like to take on Freelance projects, extensively through WordPress and other Technologies
