[Click to start game]
I'm Jesse -- welcome to my site 🙂. This is a home for cool stuff I'm
experimenting with, and a place to share some of my projects.
I founded Lowkey, a gaming startup backed by Andreessen Horowitz and Y Combinator before being acquired by Niantic at the end of 2021!
Nowadays, I work on the Social team at Niantic. I'm also involved in some funds via Sequoia Scouts and Neo.
My background is in engineering (primarily web and ML) and math. Before Lowkey, I studied Computer Science at Harvard, where I also interned at places such as Citadel, Google, HRT, Intel, Kensho, and EDO.
In my free time, I really like playing basketball, tennis, board games, and certain video games (hit Grandmaster in Teamfight Tactics :D). I also wrote a problem on the 2021 AMC 10.
Recently, I've started angel investing (check out Succinct, SPG, Dorsal, Motion, Verse Medical, Ellipsis, and more). You can find me on LinkedIn or via email.
