What I offer

Services

End-to-end delivery, from architecture through deployment. No middlemen.

🌐
Web Development
Clean, fast websites and web applications built from scratch. No WordPress, no templates — hand-coded HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, or Python/Flask backends when you need them.

Infrastructure & Self-Hosting
Move off cloud subscriptions onto hardware you own. I design and deploy self-hosted stacks using Docker, Caddy, and Cloudflare Tunnels — with SSO, monitoring, and backups included.

AI Integration
Local LLM deployment and AI automation pipelines. Run Mistral, Gemma, or other models on your own GPU. Integrate with n8n, webhooks, or custom Python agents. No cloud API costs.

Who I am

About

I'm Daniel McDonnell — a Computer Science graduate from Dublin with a background spanning software development, IT operations, and infrastructure engineering.

I currently work as an IT Operations Analyst at Fixify, an AI-native IT support startup. Outside of that, I run a 50-phase personal infrastructure project — replacing every cloud service I rely on with something I own and operate myself.

Late Midnight is where I take on freelance and consulting work. If you need something built, advised, or migrated — email me.
