Top SchoolFrank Farrell is a Senior Software Engineer and cloud architect based in Connacht, Ireland, with over a decade of experience building backend systems and cloud-native infrastructure using Java, Kotlin, AWS and GCP. He has progressed from embedded and telecom engineering roles to lead developer and cloud architect positions, and now drives delivery at SyberNet after senior roles at Beeline and Toast.

A mathematician and philosopher by training, he brings analytical rigor and a habit of questioning assumptions to architectural decisions.
