About Me
<p>
Hi, I'm Emer, a software engineer and designer passionate about creating things that are both useful and beautiful.
</p><p>
I'm currently studying Immersive Software Engineering at the University of Limerick and working as a Software Engineering Intern at Amazon Web Services, where I'm gaining hands-on experience with cloud computing, React, and TypeScript. I'm also on the organising team of next year's Hack Europe, as Head of Design.
</p><p>
When I'm not coding, you'll find me pursuing creative projects, whether that's sewing my own clothes, crocheting, drawing, or painting. I love bringing ideas to life, whether through code or art.
