MEGHAN KEIGHTLEY
Software engineer & product designer interested in building technology that makes complicated things feel simple.
FORMAL COVER LETTER ↗I like building things people actually use.
Stripe sits at an intersection that I find genuinely interesting: infrastructure, software engineering and product experience.
My background has naturally developed in that same intersection.
I started with software development, building applications across web, mobile, backend and immersive environments.
I'm now studying Interactive Digital Media at Trinity College Dublin, exploring how technology and people interact.
Engineering with intent.
Code is only one part of the picture for me.
Engineering
Building functional software, understanding systems and turning ideas into working products.
Product
Thinking beyond implementation: understanding users, constraints, interactions and the problem being solved.
Collaboration
Working across disciplines, communicating technical decisions and taking ownership when something needs to get done.
Software development gave me the foundation. Design taught me to question what I'm building.
I completed a BSc (Hons) Level 8 in Computing in Software Development at Dundalk Institute of Technology.
I'm currently completing an MSc in Interactive Digital Media at Trinity College Dublin.
Along the way I've worked on mobile applications, web products, computer vision, immersive environments and collaborative software projects.
Outside of university, I founded and led a fashion society which taught me a surprising amount about building communities nd turning ideas into something real.
THE SHORT VERSION
I want to make good software.
Thoughtful engineering. Clear interfaces. Products people want to use.
THANKS FOR READING
Maybe we should build something.
