About Me
Hi! I'm Michael McCourt, a self-taught IT Professional from Ireland, now living in the Netherlands. Currently, I work as a Technical Support Specialist at SAP LeanIX, where I leverage my skills to help clients navigate enterprise architecture solutions.

Whether you're a potential employer, colleague, or collaborator, I hope you'll find the information here insightful and engaging.
My Top Projects
Protect Multitool - EPIC
This project is my pride and joy so far. As part of a hackathon, I coined the idea for a web application designed at helping women in vulnerable situations. This tool allows for a person to send an emergency message to their contacts at a touch of a button with their coordinates attached, as well as create a route plan with additional information before going out which will be sent to their contacts in the event the user doesn't confirmation their safe arrival to a destination. A bonus part of this application is a game with a hidden emergency message feature, so that someone in a domestic situation send out a request for help without drawing unwanted attention. My part in this project was the entire back end, ensuring that messages send correctly when triggered and that emergency contacts can log on and view route details using their phone number and a secret key which is sent to them. I am incredibly proud of this project and my part to play, and would encourage anyone reading to sign up, fill in their profile information and test this out.

NorthStar Web Design
NorthStar web design was a fun weekend project I worked on as part of the course I am doing. The test for myself was to create a presentable custom free lance website that is completely unique and in production within the space of 6 hours.
