About Jesse
I'm a Product Manager at GoFundMe on the new products team, where I build AI-powered features end-to-end. I'm here to help PMs, founders, and builders figure out where AI actually belongs in their product, how to scope it, and how to ship it. I've been technical my whole career. I started as a systems engineer at Northrop Grumman, leading a team building a new machine-learning toolkit, and I've spent most of my time since launching products 0-to-1, including as the first product hire at a startup. I have an MBA from the Stanford GSB, so I can speak to both the build and the business case behind it. These days I build with AI constantly: shipping features at work and several of my own products on the side, all designed, built, and launched solo with coding agents. When I coach, I'm teaching the workflow I run myself.
Why do I coach?
I coach because I learned all of this the hard way, with no one to shortcut it for me. When I started building with AI, there was no playbook. I figured out what worked by shipping, breaking things, and iterating, both on features at work and on my own products at night. Most people trying to build with AI right now are in that same fog: lots of hype, little clarity on what actually works. I want to cut that learning curve down for the people coming up behind me. I'm the best fit for PMs, founders, and builders who know AI belongs in their product but aren't sure where to start, how to scope it, or how to tell whether it's working. We'll skip the theory and work on what you're actually building.
