Summary
Jesse Ditson is a founder and seasoned software engineer with over 14 years of professional experience and more than 20 years coding informally, blending full‑stack craftsmanship with product-minded ownership. He builds pragmatic, lightweight web systems—most recently launching Archival, a database-free CMS aimed at faster, cheaper sites, and co-creating music platform patcher.fm—while consulting as a freelance "wizard" for design-forward teams. His background spans front-end architecture, SPA transitions, backend integrations, and mobile work that helped drive measurable growth at consumer products like We Heart It. Comfortable across stacks and roles, Jesse favors simple, efficient architectures that shift complexity away from operations and toward developer velocity. Based in California, he pairs self-taught curiosity and philosophical thinking with a track record of shipping end-to-end projects from concept to production.
