Learn the product deeply
My technical background lets me understand what a system is doing, how the pieces connect, and where the real value comes from.

Technical understanding. Commercial instinct.
I sell what I understand.
I’m Jonah Stillwell, a computer science graduate with hands-on automotive sales experience. I’m pursuing tech sales because I can understand a complex product, explain it clearly, and move a customer toward a confident decision.

01
Why the combination works
The best tech sellers do more than memorize features. They make the product make sense.
Read the customer clearly
Automotive sales trained me to uncover priorities, handle objections, build trust quickly, and keep high-consideration decisions moving.
Translate between both
I can turn technical capability into a clear business outcome without talking down to the customer or hiding behind jargon.

Reverse Engineering / Fighting Game Analytics
Built a fighting game replay decoder and analytics app
Built a two-part fighting game analytics system: a decoder that turned encrypted replay files into an emulated match timeline, and an application that calculated and displayed post-match statistics. Performance optimization was critical on both sides so the entire pipeline stayed fast enough to feel immediate.

Constraint
Performance-critical on both ends of the system
read replay file decrypt game data parse events in order produce a usable timeline
replay every event rebuild match state track actions over time verify the sequence
process the full timeline calculate player statistics summarize match performance prepare final results
display results after matches keep the interface responsive optimize both sides turn a technical system into a product
Two backgrounds. One useful profile.
The technical side helps me understand what I’m selling. The customer-facing side helps me understand why someone buys it.
Automotive sales
Sold vehicles at both Royal Moore and Power Chevrolet, averaging roughly 28 cars per month across both stores.

04 / Next step
Let’s put technical credibility in the room.
I’m looking for a technology sales role where product knowledge, customer trust, and commercial execution all matter.
