Hi, I'm Aidan and I'd like to work at GitLab.
Rather than apply to one role and hope, or apply to several and look scattered, I built this website. It shows the work I do day-to-day at Accenture, and the projects I build outside of work to learn and grow my AI and software skills.
I think I'm best suited to Customer Success or Business Value Services. But I'm not certain and I'd rather be honest about that than pretend.
For anyone at GitLab reading this, thank you for taking the time. I'd love to chat.
I've worked across architecture, strategy, innovation, entrepreneruship and value realisation, for the last 12 years. Currently, I'm a Value Realisation & Strategy Manager at Accenture's Global Innovation HQ, translating AI tooling into commercial outcomes for an enterprise account. Before that, I spent eight years co-founding and running a strategy consultancy. I've a degree in architecture and a master's in Digital Experience Design. I'm also a husband and dad.
Code commits trigger linting, tests, security scans, and a deploy. I built it to learn the product properly — not from the docs, but from inside it.
completeThree independent signals — qualitative, behavioural, corroborating — pointing at the same failure mode. I built the case and drove it to ship.
completeI built this at my day job to drive adoption of an enterprise AI tool. The 20.5% time saving isn't a benchmark — it came from UAT testing I ran.
completeA pub-quiz app with real customers and real Stripe revenue. Built with Claude Code. Running in production.
completeSet up a team on a formation, then toggle between the shape in possession and out of possession. A tactics interface I want to exist.
queuedMethods for managing and running teams in knowledge work. Built in collaboration with a friend. Rhythm, clarity, and how people do their best work.
queuedI've shipped a live SaaS product. I've built pipelines. Doing that gave me a real appreciation for something I hadn't thought about before: every idea that makes it into the world needs infrastructure to live in. That's the part I want to work in and contribute to.
The software industry is changing faster than most people inside it can track. A background spanning architecture, innovation, strategy, and AI product adoption gives me a vantage point that's genuinely different. I think that matters right now.
I'm based in Cork, Ireland. At Accenture I'm essentially remote already. GitLab built their culture for distributed work deliberately — the handbook, the async model, the operating principles. That's the kind of organisation I want to grow in.
Whether you're from GitLab or just curious — I'm easy to reach.
