I am a software engineer currently working in the satellite communications industry and looking for a new position in the NYC Metropolitan area. I have worked on both backend and frontend development primarily in C++, Rust, and Java.

Interests : compilers, language runtimes, 2D & 3D graphics, performance

Hello, my name is Jesse.

I'd describe myself as a competent generalist and a lifelong learner. I'm pretty much always working on something I've never done before.

My most recent professional experience has been about a year at a semiconductor startup where I wrote prototypes for a compiler and a cycle simulator.

One of my personal projects of ~10 years is a 3D game engine. Working on it has taught me a great deal about systems and graphics programming. It runs on Windows, Linux and Web (WASM/WebGL). I chose to build it without any libraries (barring the CRT for startup), which began as a learning exercise, but has taught me the value of simplicity.

In more recent history I've been working on a metaprogramming system for C. Think C++ templates/constexpr, but significantly more ergonomic. It turns out I have a small passion for compilers. I was also recently contributing to Oil, a new bash runtime and POSIX compliant shell.

On the optimization side of things, I recently wrote the world's fastest open-source AVX2 Perlin noise implantation, and wrote about the process on my blog.

That's the cliff-notes on my technical background. As a person I'm friendly and easy to get along with. I like the phrase "Have strong opinions, weakly held". Outside of work I enjoy surfing, backcountry skiing, snowmobiling, rock-climbing and beer! I split my time between Canada, Costa Rica, and Mexico.

Cheers, Jesse
