Welcome

This is the personal site of Karl Reid, a software developer based in Dublin, Ireland.


OpenAI

As of January 2025, I am working at OpenAI, as a Senior Technical Support Engineer.


Stripe

From April 2018 until early 2025, I worked at Stripe™, as a Support Engineer.

Support Engineers at Stripe help developers integrate Stripe solutions into their apps, act as advocates for developers internally, and are experts on the Stripe platform and APIs.


General Audit Tool

I have previously worked at General Audit Tool, a powerful auditing platform for cloud services.

I worked mainly on our GAT Shield product, an auditing solution for G Suite administrators to monitor and enforce policies for a deployment of Chrome devices.

As a full stack developer, I developed and maintained features across all levels of the product, from the client browser extension, to the server backend and the administrator dashboard.


CipherApps

In the past I worked on CipherApps, a startup that developed a security solution for cloud services.

The company was spun out from the School of Computer Science and Statistics at Trinity College Dublin. I was a co-founder and the lead developer.

CipherApps raised funding from Enterprise Ireland and was accepted into the Wayra accelerator.
