01 / Journey
What I have actually built

I know what it takes to build a business in Ireland because I have done it.

  • Thousandsof operators use Synko technology to run and grow their businesses.
  • 30+ productsdelivered with Nexomos across retail, education, fintech and wellness.
  • Cross-borderrecruitment and employment capability through Absol Tech.
  • 2 conceptsBad Egg and Moenjo, operated in Dublin across quick service and heritage dining.

I have opened venues, hired across borders, shipped software, made expensive mistakes and rebuilt plans that looked better on paper than they worked in practice. That is the experience I bring to founders considering Ireland.

02 / Operating portfolio
Proof through ownership

Five businesses. Four operating worlds. One operator behind them.

I advise founders from the same side of the table. I build technology, ship products, hire across borders and run restaurants in Dublin. That range matters when a plan has to survive contact with customers, people and cash flow.

Synko

Technology built from the reality of running restaurants.

Synko connects point of sale, ordering, payments, kitchen operations and business intelligence. I built it around the problems operators face during a real service, and it now supports thousands of businesses worldwide.

04 / Hospitality and franchising
Restaurants I operate

Two distinct concepts. One real-world view of what can scale.

Bad Egg and Moenjo serve different customers with different brand promises. Running both keeps my franchise work grounded in menus, margins, teams, service, technology and the weekly numbers.

Why this matters for franchise clients

I see the model from the pass, the payroll and the customer queue.

A franchise becomes credible when the brand promise can be delivered by another team, in another unit, without the founder standing beside them. These restaurants are where I test that reality.

03 / Foundation
Faith and responsibility

I measure success by who gets a fairer start.

The Afkar Foundation supports people who have ability but lack access. The work includes scholarships, technology training, mentorship and long-term community support.

Faith shapes how I think about responsibility. It asks for useful work, done quietly, with a result that lasts beyond the moment.

“Success without spirituality is failure. Real disruption begins from the inside out.”
