This fascination transcended cultural boundaries, revealing a universal  thread of human nature. Upon her return, in the year 2000, Emer initiated her professional path in the  realm of Tech Recruitment. 

Initially, Emer ventured into the realm of Telecoms Software and Networking Recruitment. However, by  2010, her professional trajectory took a significant turn as she shifted her focus to recruiting Machine  Learning and Computer Vision Engineers. This transition aimed at assembling talent for the  advancement of Automated and Assisted Driving applications. In this capacity, Emer immersed herself in  the dynamic landscape of emerging technologies such as ADAS, LIDAR, RADAR, CNN, and DNN,  navigating a period when Artificial Intelligence was still in its infancy.
