about me

My name is Gregg O’Malley and I’m currently (as of April 2010) working as a Research Assistant at the University of Glasgow funded by a grant to develop both software and algorithms for NHSBT’s (NHS Blood and Transplant) Kidney Exchange Program.

Prior to this I worked at Regenersis writing software using C# with ASP.NET MVC and Ruby On Rails. I’ve also been self-employed for some years and during this time I created a few websites included a new online cycle store (www.cyclewize.com) for an established cycle shop here in Scotland and an events and promotions company in sunny Sydney Australia (www.summitdjs.com). These were mostly done in PHP using the CakePHP framework.

In the not too distant past I completed a project in the Medical School at University of Glasgow for allocating medical students to course electives, learning groups, and so on. This work was closely related to the research I carried out for my PhD in Algorithms and Complexity, which I completed in late 2007 – my thesis specialised in matching problems.

In addition to this I have also worked as contractor on various other web based projects and some C++ MFC development for companies such as OKI. Prior to all this I worked as a full-time employee for both Cisco Systems and OKI.

I also play in a band called Feel Like Falling – you can check out our tracks over at www.feellikefalling.com.
