Kieron O’Donoghue
I work at the intersection of business, technology, analytics, and accounting. This site is where I share my work, projects, writing, and ideas — and the things I'm currently learning.
About this site
This is the digital home of Kieron O'Donoghue — part project archive, part writing hub, and part knowledge garden. It's a single place to keep the things I've built, the things I'm writing, and the ideas I'm still figuring out. Nothing here needs to be finished to be worth keeping.
Now
As of May 2026I'm a Corporate Services Analyst working in the construction industry in Australia, and a Bachelor of Commerce (Accounting) student. Day to day I work with business systems, reporting, and process improvement, and I'm developing my Python, SQL, JavaScript, and CSS through practical work and personal projects.
