Published Machine Learning Research – SSTLNetwork: Advanced Neural Architectures for Spectral Reconstruction
SSTLNetwork: Advanced Neural Architectures for Spectral Reconstruction“Published in Spectrochimica Acta Part A, this peer-reviewed research introduces SSTLNetwork, a novel machine learning architecture designed to process complex near-infrared (NIR) imaging data. Traditional spectral analysis often struggles with data scarcity and high noise. To solve this, I engineered a custom neural network leveraging Self-Supervised Learning (SSL) and Hybrid Attention

PhD Helper: Bringing Order to Academic Chaos
A PhD journey is often romanticized as a period of deep, uninterrupted intellectual discovery. The reality is quite different. It is an exercise in extreme project management. Between managing multi-year timelines, tracking hundreds of academic papers, navigating complex supervisor relationships, and hitting writing targets, the actual “research” often gets buried under an avalanche of administrative

HobbyFlock – From Muddy Boots to Mobile Apps: Why I Built HobbyFlock
If you look at my CV, you’ll see a PhD researcher in machine learning, a Generative AI Technologist, and a former SaaS CTO. But if you visit my home in Ballymena, you’ll find me mucking out horses, wrangling chickens, chasing my pig, and trying to keep Barry, one of my many sheep, out of trouble.

Portfolio – Case Study – High Fidelity Material Modelling with Flux LoRA
In generative fashion pipelines, foundation models (like FLUX.1) excel at anatomical accuracy but struggle with highly specific, textured fabrics—often defaulting to generic noise. The goal of this sprint was to build a robust conditioning pipeline to enforce a complex, heavy-weight Scottish tweed texture across multiple garment silhouettes without compromising the model’s structural logic.
