Iterating my way to success.
I'm a fiercely ambitious entrepreneur, 21 years old, finishing my bachelor's in 2027. I'm a student of history's greatest founders and individuals. I'm endlessly fascinated by what Elon Musk is doing and by the way technology is pivoting toward general abundance through automation and the growing accessibility of technology. I'm keen on deploying and delivering products that add real quality to people's day-to-day lives. I enjoy doing that.

I worked all three pubs at once on a rotating shift pattern that changed week to week. The Harp & Shamrock and Fox's Tavern were owned by the same group, so I moved between those two, and The Irish Rover was a new independent pub where I picked up extra shifts. It was general bar and waiting work across all three.
I do front-of-house sales out on the shop floor.
I'm building out IICCE's whole software and technology foundation from scratch. The first thing I built was their internal operating system, basically one repository that holds all of the company's data (document types, folders, properties) and that everyone uses to run things internally. That same database also drives an interactive chatbot the staff use to kick off actions. Lately the role has grown into more exploratory AI work, like email siphoning. That's an AI agent that watches inbound mail and sends each message to exactly the right person, only pinging them when it actually concerns them.
These are just three projects I wanted to show here to back up the skills below. You can find the rest of my work, everything I've built for actual customers, over at mcleanstewart.co.uk/work.

This is a platform I built that scrapes placements and internships off the big placement-provider sites, pulls them in, and works out what skills each one needs. You upload your own profile and skills, and it writes cover letters and application answers tailored to each specific role. It also only shows you the placements that actually fit your skill set.
This was my first proper go at building an AI network. It's a random forest model where I wanted to see if I could predict match outcomes from things like the players, stadiums, formations, and home/away status, using results I scraped off the Premier League website. I built it with NumPy and PyTorch. It didn't actually work, because you can't really predict a match from those variables alone, but it taught me a lot as a first build.
Reload was meant to be one rugby news app that pulled together coverage from the best rugby sites and journalists around the world. The pipeline scraped each source article and stored it, then sent it to the OpenAI API to be rewritten so the substance stayed the same but the wording changed. After that it ran the article through Grammarly's plagiarism checker using a headless Chromium browser, saved it back with a plagiarism flag, and published it under the Reload name. The venture failed in the end because I never took it past the build, but it stretched me technically in a lot of areas.
