Hey, I'm Cillian.
I'm a student, writer and developer from Ireland with a big interest in technology, creativity and finding ways to make everyday things work better for people.
I've always been someone who likes making things. I spend a lot of my free time coding, designing graphics, producing music and experimenting with new technology. I'm particularly interested in AI and how it can be used to solve real-world problems rather than just being something that's impressive to look at.
I'm also dyslexic and dyspraxic, so I've experienced some of the frustrations that can come with learning and working with technology that isn't always designed for everyone. That's one of the reasons accessibility has become such an important part of the things I build.
built with the people who use it.
Wobble started during my Transition Year work experience placement at Holy Family Senior National School in early 2026.
I ran two 45-minute sessions on assistive technology with Ms. E. McDonagh's reading group, a group of nine students. Rather than simply demonstrating existing technology, I wanted to find out what the students actually needed.
At the end of the sessions, I asked them what they thought was missing and what they would want someone to build for them. The answer was simple: something that could help them read.
A few months later, I returned to the school with an early prototype. The students tried it, gave me feedback and pointed out things I hadn't considered. That feedback became a major part of how Wobble developed.
What started as a small idea for a school work-experience project has grown into a much bigger project about making reading more accessible, giving students more independence and helping children who struggle with reading experience the same books as their classmates.
I'm still developing Wobble, testing ideas and learning as I go. For me, that's one of the most interesting parts of the project — it isn't just about building an app. It's about building something with the people who are actually going to use it.
