This is the personal site of Karl Reid, a software developer based in Dublin, Ireland.
As of January 2025, I am working at OpenAI, as a Senior Technical Support Engineer.
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.
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.
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.
