Hello there! I’m Josh Crotty, currently pursuing an MSc in Mathematical Modelling & Machine Learning at University College Cork (UCC). I previously completed an undergraduate degree in Software Systems Development at SETU, where I built a strong foundation in software engineering, data science, and modern development practices.
My main interests centre around building scalable intelligent systems, particularly where data science, machine learning, and software engineering intersect. I have a strong interest in healthcare applications of AI, especially how data analysis and machine learning can contribute to solving meaningful problems.
I also enjoy technical writing and knowledge sharing, which is one of the motivations behind this blog. I regularly write about concepts I’m learning, projects I’m working on, and ideas around AI, software, and applied mathematics.
During my undergraduate final year, I developed a cloud-based deep learning system for detecting signs of Alzheimer’s disease from MRI imaging. This work was recognised with the Sun Life Academic Award and the DCH Consulting Award for Charitable & Sustainable Thinking.
Looking ahead, I hope to move into industry or research & development within healthcare AI, contributing to systems that have real impact.
