My name is Patrick Prunty and I’m a Fullstack Software Engineer at Optum Healthcare. Previously, I studied MSc. in High-Performance Computing at Trinity College Dublin and B.A Joint Honours in Mathematics and English Literature at University College Dublin (with minor in Portuguese). I am currently working on a couple of open source projects and the release of a mobile application to the iOS and Android app stores.
I do triathlon (swim, cycle and run), travel and follow Chelsea Football Club. I also write on a variety of topics ranging from science and technology to creative prose.
🖥️ Software Projects:
Minor Projects:
formik-otp-input
is an enhancement to the formik library, designed specifically for React applications. This extension introduces a specialized OTP (one-time-password) input feature. It offers a customizable input field count for the password, along with user-defined options for automating focus, submission, and key change events. Additionally, this extension supports autofill suggestions on mobile devices, which may vary based on the user’s mobile or email service provider.
Major Projects:
motormongo
- An Object Document Mapper for MongoDB built on-top of Motor, an asynchronous Python driver for MongoDB, designed to work with Tornado or asyncio and enable non-blocking access to MongoDB. Asynchronous operations in a backend system, built using FastAPI for example, enhances performance and scalability by enabling non-blocking, concurrent handling of multiple requests, leading to more efficient use of server resources.
