Hey, I'm Jesse. Oldest of seven, Marine turned drone operator, and I've started more businesses than I can count on two hands. These days I fly the ScanEagle for a living and build software the rest of the time.
This is my workshop wall — pinned with what I'm making, breaking, and learning. No algorithm, no tracking, no newsletter pop-up. Just a hand-coded corner of the web the way they used to be.
Poke around: who I am · what I'm up to now · what I'm building · sign the guestbook
