Craig Bell’s career journey began with a degree in Fine Art (’05-’09), but it was a long-standing fascination with technology that ultimately led to a successful transition into the IT field. Having spent nearly two decades experimenting with computers—from video and audio editing during his art studies to configuring family routers and troubleshooting an old MS-DOS PC—his passion for tech was clear.

In 2012, Craig Bell decided to formalize this interest by enrolling in a Masters conversion course at University College Dublin. There, he was introduced to web development, relational database design, and various programming languages. After completing his studies, he gained hands-on experience through an internship and a brief stint at Realex Payments. He was soon accepted into the prestigious WebElevate 4.0 program, which led to a position at one of Ireland’s top IT providers for credit unions, serving clients across Ireland, the UK, and Scotland.
