James McConkey

I've spent much of my career building software for organizations where the details matter. Whether working in education technology, healthcare, or internal business systems, I've enjoyed learning how people do their work and helping turn complicated needs into software that feels clear, useful, and dependable.

Before joining Atomic, I worked on a learning management platform focused on world language learning. That work gave me the chance to contribute across the product, from user facing features and backend systems to integrations like OneRoster, LTI, and SSO that helped schools connect the platform with the tools they already used.

I enjoy working across the full software development process, from understanding a problem and shaping a technical direction to building, testing, and refining the solution with a team. Consulting appeals to me because it creates opportunities to meet people across different organizations, learn about the challenges they are facing, and help build practical solutions.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family, playing basketball, and getting outdoors whenever I can.
