Hi, I'm Jesse.
I build stuff for humans and I help humans build stuff.
I lead Security at Watershed. Before that: Netflix, NASA/JPL, The Obama 2012 tech team, Figure 53, and IBM Research. I volunteer with Ragtag.
Email me if you like.
You might have seen my History of Sampling, Visual Scratch, these airport fish, or used Many Eyes, MaxLink, Stethoscope, or altcloud. I also worked on OnSight, augmented reality for Mars exploration, which won NASA's Software of the Year award in 2018.
