Joe Torley portrait

About me

I’m an ACA-qualified Irish accountant with a strong interest in building, learning, and pushing my limits — both professionally and personally.

Outside of finance, I’m deeply into Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, fitness, and recovery. I spend a lot of my time training, staying disciplined, and finding ways to perform at a high level — physically and mentally.

I also have a growing interest in AI, technology, and “vibe coding” — using modern tools to build things quickly and creatively. This site is one of the first projects I’ve shipped as part of that journey.

Travel plays a big role in my life too. I enjoy putting myself in new environments, meeting different people, and gaining perspective beyond routine.

Right now, I’m looking for accounting opportunities in Ireland while continuing to build skills in tech and share what I’m learning along the way. If any of that resonates, get in touch.
