I'm Jesse -- welcome to my site ๐. 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.
