Sean Dowdall

I'm Employee #2 and Software Engineer II at DevAlly, where I build workflow automation and developer tooling for accessibility compliance.

Before DevAlly I interned at IRIS Technology in Barcelona, where I spent time researching GPT-3 fine-tuning, Elasticsearch pipelines, and creating RAG chatbots with LangChain.

Outside of work I like running, functional fitness, and building side projects. I've launched iOS apps including Buck, a men's mental health app built through Enterprise Ireland's New Frontiers programme, and Max, a free local-first fitness app.

I also enjoy developer productivity, good tooling, and tightening up small workflows over time. If that's your thing too, check out my dotfiles.

Current goals

  • Run a sub-20 5k (22:28 currently).
  • Become proficient at Rust.
