Hi, I'm Alex. I'm a year post grad from CS, still looking for work. I have been biding my time by doing a variety of projects to keep busy and learn new things. Prior to this, I have done systems administration, where I managed on prem Windows servers, Hyper-V, and networking hardware for some school districts where I have studied. In my spare time, I run my own Linux homelab using Docker, Ansible, and Grafana. I use it to self-host my projects (among other things), which include a full-stack Reddit marketplace monitor with its own CI/CD pipeline. I'm a generalist who enjoys working from the infrastructure up to the application.

Honestly? I'm not picky (never was). I don't mind a chance working anywhere.

Hi, I'm a (mostly backend) web developer with 12 years of experience in web application development, big data systems (hundreds of millions to billions of rows), security (attack and defence, policy), payment systems, writing scrapers / crawlers, traditional machine learning / NLP, LLMs / RAG / agents (LangChain / LangGraph) / and infrastructure management.

I also have cross-discipline experience; working with accounting, sales, communication and marketing teams by building workflows, automations and internal tooling.

Currently working as the CTO of an AdTech startup.

Ideally I'd like to work for a product startup in the capacity of CTO or lead / staff engineer.

(Not super interested in crypto or Web3.)

Remote only : 10 years remote, 12 years experience

Technologies : C, C++, SIMD, OpenGL, WebGL, WASM, JS, TS

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 frequently 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.

I've also been working on a metaprogramming system for C & CPP. Think templates/constexpr, but significantly more ergonomic. It turns out I have a small passion for compilers. It currently generates many tens of thousands of lines of code for my game engine project including containers and an interactive realtime data visualization/editor.

On the optimization side of things, I recently wrote the world's fastest open-source AVX2 Perlin noise implementation, and wrote about the process on my blog. I beat the state-of-the-art by ~1.8x, which took me about two weeks.

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!

Cheers, Jesse

Misc: I have over two years of full-time security consulting and blue team experience at NCC Group and Black Lantern Security. Also, I have two 0days and received CVEs under my name and a company research blog post to go along with it. Done contracting for FAANGs and found 0days in their products. Worked at IBM as a programmer too.

I'm eligible for a security clearance and willing to do government work. Already passed a FSP once, but was denied agency specific suitability.
