Personal Résumé

A minimal personal site whose home page is the CV itself — printable, indexable, and therefore the copy that actually gets maintained. Five routes, warm paper, square corners.

Aisling Moreau

Principal engineer — platform, performance and the unglamorous parts

Print or save as PDF

Ten years building systems that other engineers depend on, mostly by removing things. I am at my best on a team that has outgrown its first architecture and has to keep shipping while it changes. Looking for a principal or staff role where the hard problem is technical rather than political.

Experience

  1. Principal Engineer, Platform · Northwind

    Mar 2023 — Present · Remote

    Series B logistics platform, 40 engineers, one Rails monolith and four Go services.

    • Cut p95 checkout latency from 2.4s to 610ms by deleting a caching layer rather than adding one — the invalidation cost more than the reads saved.
    • Led the migration off a managed search product onto Postgres full-text, against a hard contract-expiry date. Saved $310k a year with no change to result quality anyone could measure.
    • Wrote the on-call handbook and cut pages per engineer per week from 11 to 2, mostly by deleting alerts nobody had ever acted on.
  2. Senior Software Engineer · Contoso Health

    Jun 2019 — Feb 2023 · Dublin

    Patient records for 60 clinics. Regulated, audited, and slow to change by design.

    • Rebuilt the appointment booking flow to meet WCAG 2.1 AA before the deadline the procurement contract set. It passed audit first time, which nothing else that year did.
    • Introduced contract tests between the scheduling service and three consumers, ending a class of release that broke a downstream team every quarter.
  3. Software Engineer · Umbra Labs

    Sep 2016 — May 2019 · Dublin

    • Second engineer. Built the billing integration that the company ran on unchanged for six years.

Skills

TypeScript · Go · Postgres · React · Next.js · Terraform · OpenTelemetry · WCAG 2.2 AA · Incident command

Education

  • BA (Mod) Computer Science — Trinity College Dublin — First Class Honours2012 — 2016

Selected writing and talks

  • “The cache we deleted” — SRECon EMEA, main track2025
  • “Accessibility as a procurement requirement” — Write the Docs2024

Currently taking calls about principal and staff roles

The fastest route is email. Tell me what the system does and what has stopped working about it — that is the part I want to hear before anything about the company.

  • Available from March — one month’s notice
  • Lisbon (UTC+1), remote or hybrid, EU right to work
  • No take-home tests, but happy to pair for an afternoon

Live components in your current theme — switch routes, or the phone icon to check the mobile layout. Colours are this template’s Linen palette, which ships in app/globals.css. Warm paper, barely any chroma, and a near-black primary rather than a coloured one. Square corners throughout. Built to be printed: it is the only palette here whose light mode is the design and whose dark mode is the accommodation.

34 files · .zip · nothing to configure

then

cd personal-resume
npm install
npm run dev

The archive contains the whole project — routes, blocks, theme tokens, Tailwind and PostCSS config, tsconfig and a .gitignore. One runtime dependency, and no Hoverlab dependency at all: it is your code from the moment it unzips.

For AI

The component, its props, the design tokens it expects and the command that installs it — as one prompt. Paste it into Claude, Cursor, v0 or ChatGPT and what they build around it will match the rest of the catalog instead of inventing its own system.

Every file is listed. The 17 files in components/ are the blocks the pages import — each one has its own page if you want to read it on its own.

Project files

Everything except the blocks. Opens on app/globals.css — the file that makes the rest look right, since every block styles itself with bg-card and text-muted-foreground rather than literal colours.

app/globals.css
@tailwind base;
@tailwind components;
@tailwind utilities;

/**
 * Design tokens — the Linen palette.
 *
 * Warm paper, barely any chroma, and a near-black primary rather than a coloured one. Square corners throughout. Built to be printed: it is the only palette here whose light mode is the design and whose dark mode is the accommodation.
 *
 * This file is the reason a pasted block looks right. Every block and page
 * styles itself with semantic classes — `bg-card`, `text-muted-foreground`,
 * `border-border` — rather than literal colours, so they inherit whatever
 * you define here instead of fighting it. Change a value below and every
 * section in the project moves with it. Change the hue on `--primary` and
 * `--ring` together and you have rebranded the site.
 *
 * Values are bare HSL channels, not `hsl(...)` calls. That is what lets
 * Tailwind compose them with an alpha suffix: `bg-primary/10` expands to
 * `hsl(var(--primary) / 0.1)`, which is impossible if the variable already
 * carries its own function wrapper.
 *
 * Every foreground/background pair below clears WCAG AA (4.5:1) in both
 * themes. If you retune one, check the pair rather than trusting the eye —
 * mid-lightness accents are the ones that fail.
