Sean O'Mahoney
Developer, craft beer enthusiast, and community builder based in Manchester. Co-founder of INEVITABLE. Chair of CAMRA Central Manchester.
The Full Story
I'm Sean β a first-class Computer Science graduate from Manchester Metropolitan University, co-founder of the award-winning AI startup INEVITABLE, and someone who's spent the better part of a decade connecting people, ideas, and communities across Manchester and beyond.
On the tech side, I've steered AI accelerator programmes, been through GCHQ's first Accelerator, and helped hundreds of startup founders go from idea to product. I care deeply about making AI accessible, building things securely, and championing open-source development. In 2017 I initiated CompiledMCR, an open-source tool for the Manchester tech community that's still maintained by INEVITABLE today.
On the beer side, I'm Chair of CAMRA Central Manchester, the North West Cider & Perry Coordinator, Greater Manchester Young Members Coordinator, and a Brewery Liaison Officer. With 5,300+ beers on Untappd, 31+ festivals under my belt, and regular press commentary on pub protection, I bring the same analytical curiosity to a glass of cask ale as I do to a codebase.
The through-line? Community. Whether it's running hackathons, organising beer festivals, or connecting startup founders with resources, I believe the best things happen when people come together around shared passions.
