Haigh, a chairde 👋🏻

I’m Peter Elst, a senior software engineer and technology enthusiast with a passion for the Irish language. This is a space for some of my thoughts, letters to the editor and experiments with learning in public.

I’d love to hear from you, so please don’t hesitate to get in touch with ideas or suggestions. Míle buíochas!
