I’m Eoghan McCarthy, a Python-focused software engineer and data scientist with a background in machine learning, backend development, and distributed systems. I hold a B.Eng. in Electronic & Computer Engineering and recently completed an M.Sc. in Computer Science – Data Science at Trinity College Dublin.
I have one year of professional experience as a Software Developer and previous data science internships, working across financial services and academic research.
- Putting forward my MSc dissertation for publication:
Designed an end-to-end AI/ML pipeline synchronising 373k+ facial emotion recognition frames with 30M+ financial datapoints.
This work investigated how non-verbal emotional cues from public communications influence short-term market volatility, combining emotion recognition (iMotions/Affectiva), high-frequency time series analysis, and Python-based statistical modelling.
- Terminal Bench – Currently contributing benchmark-hardening tasks for agentic coding evaluation, focusing on designing and validating more robust terminal-based tasks for AI agents.
- Currently learning to build intelligent, secure AI-powered workflows—leveraging platforms like Jentic—for scalable, impactful solutions in modern engineering.
- Open-source projects in explainable AI and responsible machine learning, especially those with real-world applications in finance and health
