Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJesse Collins is a founder and CEO with 12 years of experience building large-scale AI and ML systems for regulated finance and consumer platforms. After architecting production ML at Affirm and scaling AI infrastructure at Zillow, he co-founded Friday Harbor to ship full-file AI underwriting to 16 major lenders and now leads Flightline to replace manual mortgage QC with an autonomous execution engine. His teams have solved messy, real-world document and overlay complexity—delivering defensible, evidence-backed findings and same-day turnarounds without changing lender workflows. He combines hands-on engineering, regulatory audit experience from a federal credit union, and product-led deployment expertise to drive measurable cost and risk improvements. Based in Seattle, Jesse has a CS MS from Georgia Tech and a pragmatic knack for turning research-grade models into compliant, enterprise-grade systems. Notably, he’s repeatedly focused on the “control layer” problem—automating decisions that historically required scaling human headcount.
