01About me
Complex work.
Clear communication.
My career has taken me across video games, film, television, and teaching. The work changes, but the essentials stay the same: understand the goal, ask useful questions, and work with people to make it happen.
From building game environments to meeting the visual standards of major franchises, I’ve learned to connect creative ambition with technical requirements. I’m interested in bringing that experience closer to customers—helping people understand a solution and why it matters.

Closer to people.
Closer to the impact.
I’m transitioning into sales, with an interest in sales development and a long-term path in consultative technology sales. I bring experience working through complex requirements, communicating across teams, and learning technical systems.
I’m especially drawn to companies whose products help people live, learn, or work better.

Companies connecting technology with fitness, wellbeing, and more active lives.
Education
Tools and experiences that make learning clearer, more engaging, and more accessible.
04Beyond the job title
The storyteller
I also write fiction as J.J. O’Mahony, exploring survival, family, and what people do when the world changes. Writing gives me another way to understand people and communicate an idea.
