Doing Splunk stuff ;-)

I was born and raised in Ireland and have been living around London in the UK for the past 27 years. Discovering Splunk in 2012 was life changing for me in so many ways. Ever since, I have been blessed with an amazing action packed Splunk journey as a customer at times, a partner at times, an EDU trainer at times and a community servant always. I started the Splunk User Group London in 2013 and in 2021 founded ‘Study Club for Splunk’ with Tony Reinke and Suman Gajavelly. I have been further blessed to speak at .conf on several occasions. Helping individuals and organisations around the world on a voluntary basis, including good causes is a passion. I am totally committed to our amazing Splunk community and following on from this, have been a member of SplunkTrust since 2015. I am here for you.

I have been involved with helping to enable the wider community since 2015, professionally and personally. I am a community servant and servant leader through and through and love to coach and mentor folks to have great career opportunities and journeys in Splunk. I am also very active with Splunk Global Impact.

I am married with 2 sons. I have worked in IT my whole professional life and have performed various roles in the software development arena.

Since joining in 2020, I have been an active member of the Splunk Community and was inducted into the Splunk Trust in 2021.

I create and maintain various dashboards and reports in Splunk for a number of applications and I have recently been working in the Observability and Monitoring SRE space.

Outside work, I spend a reasonable amount of energy supporting my disabled son. However, I do find time to play bridge, helping to organise weekly team events, and am a member of the bridge club’s committee.
