About

Patrick Prunty

I am a senior full-stack web developer at Optum Healthcare based in Dublin, Ireland.

My journey in technology has been unconventional. I began my career in construction, spending a year as a plumber before deciding to pursue higher education.

I earned a B.A. in Mathematics and English Literature from University College Dublin, followed by an M.Sc. in High-Performance Computing at Trinity College Dublin.

Today, I design and develop web applications that empower healthcare providers to deliver better care to thousands of patients.

In addition to my professional work, I dedicate my spare time to creative endeavors, including my personal blog, open-source projects, and YouTube channels.

When I’m not coding or working on creative projects, you can find me training for triathlons, hiking, or spending time with my loved ones.

Connect with me on Twitter, or reach out via E-mail for business inquiries.
