Hi, I'm Jesse Krim. I build AI products and the systems around them, from mobile and web apps to the go-to-market and operations systems that find customers and keep a team running. I've spent seven years building software at FanDuel and on my own products, after starting in startup sales.
I work across the product, the revenue system and the operations behind both.
React Native, Next.js, TypeScript, Laravel, PostgreSQL, Supabase, Expo, app-store releases, analytics, monitoring and production APIs.
Signal-based list building, account scoring tested against real customers, enrichment, Apollo and Salesforce APIs, sequence design, and the cost of every step logged.
Claude Code, Claude skills, scheduled agent runs, LLM APIs, dashboards and automations that take research, reporting and routine work off a small team.
The actual path
I spent years trying to get close to startups before I had the technical skill to build the company I wanted. Early sales roles taught me customers. Operations taught me urgency. Engineering gave me leverage.
The founder chapter has been expensive in time and mistakes: wrong paths, wrong questions, too much time thinking about fundraising before the product was right. Those lessons are now built into how I work.
I'm looking for a full-time role where this range is useful, like GTM engineering, building AI products and internal systems, or operations beside a founder at a team that needs someone who can design, build and sell.
Startup apprenticeship
I moved to San Francisco, shared a room with a founder, worked from cafes, helped with decks, QA, customer work, and investor-facing material, and learned what early startup life actually feels like up close.
Sales and operations
I followed Brad Lea and Lightspeed VT to Las Vegas, moved from customer success into sales and operations at 23, then worked with Dan Lear in a small team training sales teams at dealerships and solar companies while selling seminar tickets on the road.
Self-taught engineering
I came home, went through a coding boot camp, taught myself React Native on the couch, and turned a coworking-space relationship into the internship that became my first real engineering job.
Mobile ownership
At Crew Me Up, the development team quit and I had to build full-stack features, product flows, and the next version of the app. At Next Gen HQ, I built the React Native app from scratch with a lean product, design, web, and backend team.
Scaled production
After three years of bootstrapped engineering, I joined FanDuel and worked on production OTT and sportsbook surfaces inside the largest engineering organization I had been part of.
Founder chapter
Get Mentors took me through the hard questions: raise or bootstrap, B2B or B2C, who the customer is, what the product should be, and which rabbit holes were distractions. The last six months of AI tooling finally made the pace match the ambition.
Current ventures, production roles, and high-pressure builds across AI products, consumer mobile, streaming, archives, family software, and scaled engineering teams.
Founder / Senior Mobile Engineer
Left FanDuel to build the startup I had wanted since I was 21, then rebuilt it from the ground up after hard lessons around market, product shape, and GTM.
Now live on iOS as a focused board product, with Android to follow. Ask the people you admire, compare their answers side by side, and see the source behind every card.
Founder / Product Engineer
Conceived and built an AI-forward listening product with a senior UI/UX designer for one of the deepest live music archives on the internet.
Proof that I can turn a messy archive and passionate community into a structured product system with search, source comparison, offline UX, and AI-guided listening.
Founder / iOS Engineer
Built a private family memory product after seeing how bad the default camera-roll experience is for preserving a child's early life.
Rebuilt in native Swift and SwiftUI and now live on the App Store, with on-device face matching, partner sharing, letters, Firsts, and support for iPhone Duo.
Full-stack builder
Built and shipped a memorial website for my dad in roughly five days, including stories, gallery, admin CMS, comments, reactions, emails, and private family areas.
Proof of speed, care, taste, resilience, and full-stack execution under real emotional stakes.
Software Engineer
Moved from bootstrapped startup engineering into the largest engineering organization I had worked in, building production OTT and sportsbook surfaces.
Proof of production engineering inside a scaled consumer sports product organization.
Lead Software Developer
After the development team quit, I took on full-stack mobile ownership, built backend features, designed product flows, and helped lead the next version of the app.
Proof of mobile ownership, product judgment, team leadership, and execution in a messy production environment with 4k+ users.
