Mikey Fennelly

I am currently studying Immersive Software Engineering [ISE] at the University of Limerick. I am a passionate technologist with a keen interest in Software Engineering, Artificial Intelligence and video creation and graphics.

When I'm not doing these things, I'm thinking about them!

Experience

Founder and Software Developer - eefenn

September 2024 - Present

While in college, I started eefenn as a way to market the skillset that I'd been developing while doing some freelance work. Worked directly with customers to deliver full stack applications from design, frontend development, backend development and to provisioning infrastructure on AWS. I worked to create a healthy development lifecycle that included CI/CD pipelines to automate test and deployment operations. I learned a lot about project management and managing priority of tasks etc.

Software Technician - Midland Steel Reinforcement Supplies

June 2024 - August 2024

Heavily involved in the design and implementation of many key projects. Wrote software to help integrate a number of existing software systems. Also created a system to provide business intelligence on MSRS. Some of the systems I worked on were implemented fully by me in house, while some others were developed by me as Proof of Concepts and then handed off to external companies for further development. Some of the projects I was involved in included:

A weldpoint calculation system to calculate weldpoints in prefabricated rebar structures, directly from plaintext design files in IFC format - streamlining the collaboration of the design and robotics departments.

A key exploratory data analysis project, relating to production data.

The design and implementation of the 'Central MSRS Database' - to provide a variety of KPIs for the business and interface with new systems used at MSRS for reporting on installation activities and many other key metrics.

An IFC parsing algorithm, used to translate IFC files into other file formats used at MSRS.

"I had the pleasure of supervising Mikey during his internship at Midland Steel, where he consistently demonstrated strong technical skills and a proactive work ethic. Mikey contributed to key projects, including the design and production data comparison report, the development of an IFC Parsing Algorithm, and the architecture design for our Installation Reports Database. He also handled various IT tasks with efficiency and reliability. Mikey’s adaptability, quick learning, and collaborative spirit made him a valuable team member. I highly recommend Mikey for any future role—he will be an asset to any team."
