My name is Kieran O’Leary. I’m originally from Killarney, County Kerry in the south-west of Ireland. I’ve been living in Edinburgh, Scotland since 2008.
Over the last 15 years, I’ve worked for a number of the world’s leading semiconductor companies. I now share my design skills and industry knowledge with clients wishing to design, manufacture and ship high quality, innovative products.
In hiring me, my clients benefit from the experience, expertise and enthusiasm that I bring to every project.
I enjoy connecting with like-minded people. If you share my interests and wish to work together, collaborate on a project or simply grow your network, get in touch.
