Hi, I'm Jesse.
I build stuff for humans and I help humans build stuff.
I run Monorail Technology.
I lead Security at Watershed. Before that: Watershed, Netflix, NASA/JPL, The Obama 2012 tech team, Figure 53, and IBM Research. More here.
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.
