UCD MSc (Negotiated Learning) — Study Log & Demos In progress
Part-time MSc at University College Dublin (Sep 2025–Aug 2027). I publish notes and small demos per module to make progress visible.

Key takeaways
- Each module becomes a mini-project: notes → demo → reflection.
- Everything lives on this site as a growth log — not just a CV snapshot.
- I focus on practical outcomes: small prototypes, experiments, and measurable learnings.
Notes / Outputs
- Target output per module: 1 write-up + 1 small demo (even if simulated).
- Build a personal knowledge base I can reuse for future work and interviews.

Why I’m doing this
I started the MSc (Negotiated Learning) at University College Dublin in Sep 2025.
My goal isn’t “collecting a degree” — it’s creating a repeatable learning system:
- learn the foundations in a structured way
- build small demos to turn concepts into intuition
- write down decisions, mistakes, and what I’d do differently
This page is the root index of that system.
How this section of the site works
Each course/module will have its own page under /learning.
For each module, I aim to publish:
- Notes (clear and searchable)
- One tiny demo (a page in
/labor a simulated UI) - A reflection (what I learned, what was hard, what changed my thinking)
Even if a demo isn’t fully functional, I still ship a UI prototype — because this is about showing growth, not perfection.
What’s coming next
I’ll add module pages here as soon as the semester progresses.
Planned structure for module pages:
- Overview + what the module is really about
- Key concepts
- My build/demos
- What I would do differently next time
- Links to related projects (e.g. RAG assistant, VideoTranslate, ArgumentLab)
