My name is Owen McGirr, and I am a 28-year-old entrepreneur and software developer living in Donegal, Ireland. Over the years, I've honed my skills in various fields of technology, including web design and development.
Web design is a passion of mine. I truly believe in the power of a well-designed website and how it can transform the way people perceive and interact with a brand or service. My approach to web design is centered around the user. I aim to create intuitive, accessible designs that facilitate easy navigation and enhance the overall user experience. From the layout and color scheme to the functionality, every element is carefully considered with the end-user in mind.
In addition to web design, I've made significant strides in the field of software development. In 2016, I developed an iOS app called SayIt!, designed to help people with limited speech capabilities. This app allows users to type what they want to say and have it spoken out loud using speech synthesis technology. It also offers features like dedicated buttons for frequently used phrases and the option to add images to these buttons for easy identification.
One of the highlights of my career was in 2022 when I was recognized as one of the Innovators Under 35 by the MIT Technology Review. This prestigious accolade is given to young technologists who are making significant contributions to their field and whose innovations have the potential to shape our lives for decades to come. Being part of this list was a rigorous process, with a selection made from over 600 nominees.
I believe that the ability to communicate effectively is fundamental to both personal and professional success. This belief has been a driving force behind my work, whether it's developing an app like SayIt! or designing a user-friendly website.
