Summary
James Jessen is an engineer-turned-educator and entrepreneur with 11 years of technical and field experience building data-driven products, simulations, and instrumented devices. He built mobile and interactive systems—from an iOS app for a biometric meditation device to a Unity-based gear physics simulator—and has applied machine learning to wearable sensor data in healthcare research. A former METOC analyst in the US Marine Corps, he brings operational discipline, top-secret-cleared responsibility, and practical automation skills (VBA and database tooling) that streamlined forecasting workflows. Currently teaching in Seattle Public Schools, he’s simultaneously developing a pandemic-born service aimed at disrupting a multi-trillion-dollar financial market, blending product vision with hands-on engineering. Collected lab, field, and classroom experience gives him a rare ability to translate complex technical concepts into usable products and learning experiences.
