👤
SeniorJesse Chen is a product and engineering leader with 15 years of experience building high-impact consumer and developer-facing products from 0 to scale. He led Threads’ engineering launch that reached 100M users in five days and has since moved to lead product for Meta’s AI developer productivity tools, exploring the future of programming with AI agents.

An understated strength: he repeatedly succeeds at rapid, cross-functional launches under intense timelines.
