About
I'm Jesse -- welcome to my site 🙂.My background is in engineering (primarily web and AI/ML) and math. I studied Computer Science at Harvard, where I also interned at places such as Citadel, Google, HRT, Intel, Kensho, and EDO.
After college, I founded Lowkey, a startup that was backed by Andreessen Horowitz and Y Combinator before being acquired by Niantic at the end of 2021!
Afterwards, I worked on the Social team at Niantic. I'm also involved in some funds via Sequoia Scouts and Neo, and started angel investing.
Nowadays, I'm working on a new company.
In my free time, I like writing math contest problems (like for the AMC 10 and AMC 8), playing basketball, watching tennis, board games, and certain video games (Grandmaster in Teamfight Tactics).
