A selfie photo of me, James Gallagher, taken October 2020 in the kitchen at the office I worked from back then

I'm James

And this is where I'll share too-much-information...

I'm 46 and am in the process of moving away from Dublin to rural Co. Roscommon.

I work as a Product Owner & Business Analyst on the Customer Experience team in Dropbox. Dropbox's VirtualFirst approach to work is what has let me live in Co. Roscommon where I'm back with my parents and cat while I figure it all out. Or at least enough to navigate post-pandemic life for awhile.

I'm a big fan of tech so I spend a lot of time tricking around at various bits and pieces.


I've also been involved in cycling advocacy but I'm currently (July, 2023) at a stage where I'm fucked off with the general hostility to people who just want to cycle safely and lower their contribution to emissions. So my advocacy these days is mostly just keeping some of the websites running and thinking about how to get back into the actual cycling bit!


I really like my electronic dance music, in particular Frenchcore is my go-to at the moment but in general the harder styles are what I most enjoy.


That's kind of it about me .. the rest is optional reading if you fancy it. I've (over-)shared because I think there's value in being open about it. I will note that it's not complete in terms of timeline ... will add to it when I feel like it
