Hi.
I’m Kieran.

Final-year Computer Science student.
Digital Innovation Intern at Rolls-Royce Motor Cars.

I build systems that solve real problems. Most of my work sits somewhere between software, data, and automation. I like understanding how things actually work, from the data layer to the user interface, and then making them faster, simpler, and more reliable.

About

Profile

I am a Computer Science student on track for a First-Class degree, currently completing a placement year in Digital Innovation.

Over the past year, I have built internal tools, automation systems, and dashboards used in day-to-day operations. Most of my work has been under real constraints - limited access, legacy systems, and tight timelines - which taught me how to build practical solutions that actually hold up.

Working style

  • I take ownership of what I build.
  • I document things properly so the next person can understand them,
  • Team-focused, willing to teach, and keen to learn from others.
  • I focus on finishing work, not just starting it.

“Computer science is no more about computers than astronomy is about telescopes.”

— Edsger W. Dijkstra

Career timeline

Before university

McDonald’s

Worked in a fast-paced customer environment where mistakes were visible immediately. Learned reliability, teamwork, and how to stay calm under pressure.

University

BSc Computer Science

Strengthened fundamentals across software, data, and systems. Focused on building from first principles.

Placement year

Rolls-Royce Motor Cars

Engineered and implemented end-to-end systems, and built dashboards used by operational teams to track performance and make daily decisions.

Next

Graduate role

Roles across software, platform, data, or systems engineering, ideally with end-to-end ownership.

Experience

Digital Innovation Intern

Rolls-Royce Motor Cars • Jun 2025 to present

Scope

  • Enterprise application development and data platforms.
  • Analytics and reporting for operational and management use.
  • Automation prototypes under restricted enterprise constraints.

Outcomes

  • Co-developed an Oracle APEX real-time inventory tracking application using QR code scanning that tracks 2000+ production assets with 100+ concurrent users.
  • Built KPI dashboards and analytics using SQL, DAX, Power BI, Excel Power Query, and SAP BusinessObjects.
  • Developed a Python data pipeline analysing about 270,000 records with under 7 seconds processing time, without third-party libraries.
  • Built a UI automation prototype for a restricted Windows Forms system, with error recovery and routing.

Projects

Database Engine from Scratch

C# Custom Query Language

Built a database engine in C# with a CLI interface and a human-readable query language. Designed the parsing layer to ensure queries are expressive, deterministic, and maintainable.

CPU Built in Logic World

Systems Architecture Assembly

Built a CPU using hand-placed wiring and logic components. Implemented a practical instruction set (add, sub, branch, compare) and demonstrated real programs, including Fibonacci and RGB graphics.

Plant-wide Asset Tracking System

Enterprise Confidential

Built a system for tracking assets across the assembly line, with real time analytics dashboards and QR code scanning heuristics. Due to confidentiality, Specific operational logic is masked.
