Why Catalase?
"So it's a hangover cure then?", said Brendan.
Well, uh, no, that wasn't why I called my company after the enzyme Catalase. I had other reasons.
Catalase Systems Ltd
I founded my company, Catalase Systems Ltd, in 1999 - a solo structure that lets me move between companies and domains.
Working in Ireland, I've validated software for ESA/NASA solar missions (SOHO, ISO), built high-speed data converters for telcos, EDA tools for FPGAs, broadcast television graphics and cell image analysis software.
AI has shifted what Catalase works on. I build software tools that span domains. I use AI to adapt and fine tune the tools.
About Catalase Systems
Catalase explores organizing principles in engineered and biological systems - patterns that repeat across scales and domains.
