Our team

One problem to solve.

We started Mahoney LLC because we kept seeing the same thing — local businesses with real operational problems and no good options for solving them. Too expensive for enterprise software, too complex for off-the-shelf tools. We build the thing in between.

Slade Mahoney
Strategy & Client Work

Slade is based in Chula Vista and has spent his career translating complex technical systems into real-world solutions. He has worked with organizations like the CDC, The Walt Disney Company, and the Inter-American Development Bank on AI and data strategy, and most recently inside AchillesHR — a venture-backed AI startup — where he saw firsthand how these systems perform at scale.

He is bilingual in English and Spanish, knows the San Diego market, and has a graduate degree in public policy from UC San Diego and a data analytics certification from UC Berkeley. He is the person who learns your business and makes sure what we build actually solves your problem.

Owen Mahoney
Engineering & Product

Owen is a UC Berkeley Computer Science graduate and Co-Founder and Chief Product Officer of AchillesHR, a venture-backed AI startup that built voice agent technology and automated scheduling systems used by companies across the United States.

He has been building AI-powered products professionally for years — from automated phone screening and candidate scheduling to end-to-end recruiting workflows. He brings that same depth to every system we build for clients. If Slade scopes it, Owen builds it — from scratch, specifically for your business.

How we work
Small on purpose.

We take on a limited number of clients at a time so we can actually do the work right. You are never one of fifty accounts.

Local first.

We are based in Chula Vista. We work with businesses in San Diego and the South Bay because we know this market — the industries, the customers, the language.

You keep everything.

We build it, you own it. The code, the accounts, the system. No ongoing fees to us. No dependency. If you want to take it somewhere else one day, you can.

Real problems only.

We do not build things for the sake of building them. Every project starts with a real operational problem that is costing you time or money. If we cannot solve it we will tell you.

Want to work with us?

Free conversation. No commitment. Just tell us what is not working.
