Donnelly Tech Solutions

Practical solutions, clean code, real results.

I run my own software development company, building and delivering web applications directly to clients. I am a full-stack developer focused on React, Next.js, Node.js, and TypeScript. I am passionate about creating practical, maintainable software and continuously learning new technologies to solve real-world problems.

Hi, I am Andrew β€” a full-stack developer with a strong focus on modern web development, React ecosystems, and intuitive user experiences. I believe good software is like well-crafted storytelling: clear, expressive, and purposeful.

πŸ’» React, Next.js, Node.js, TypeScript

🌍 Currently based in Ireland, actively seeking opportunities in London and open to relocation or remote work. I am working with clients across Europe and the UK

πŸ“š Writing a memoir and editing essays in my spare time

🧭 Travelling Europe and the world, exploring stories, and debugging life one bug at a time

πŸ—οΈ Always learning, always iterating β€” on code and life

"Code is just another form of storytelling."
