I'm Darragh ORiordan. I lead engineering teams, build software, and stay close enough to the work to know what is actually slowing a team down.
Outside work, I am usually hiking, paddling, or travelling. I have lived in Ireland, Canada, New Zealand, and now Australia, I'm rarely too far from the mountains or the ocean.
