Summary
Cian Foley is a creative full-stack software engineer with eight years focused on Node.js and React development at NearForm and a long history of building production software across web, mobile, and research contexts. He blends modern JavaScript stacks (including React Native and Android native modules) with backend expertise in Node.js, informed by earlier experience in .NET, C#, Java and systems integration. Cian has led architecture and R&D efforts—prototyping blockchain services and re-architecting APIs—while also mentoring and teaching businesses how to make web products that perform and rank. His background in academic research and enterprise projects means he’s comfortable turning exploratory prototypes into maintainable production systems. Based in Waterford, Ireland, he pairs practical delivery skills with an entrepreneurial mindset honed through freelance consulting and teaching. A detail others miss: his career spans both low-level integration (VB6/C++ Exchange/Domino work) and cutting-edge JavaScript, giving him an unusually broad technical lens.
