Summary
Jesse Dowell is a founder and tech lead with over 20 years of hands-on experience designing, prototyping, and delivering native and web-based software across startups, consulting engagements, and enterprise projects. He blends full‑stack engineering with architecture and operational ownership, comfortable at the UI, server, and infrastructure layers in cloud, co‑located, and on‑prem environments. Deep expertise in the Java and .NET ecosystems (including Clojure and C#), plus broad experience with JavaScript, PHP, C/C++, SQL/NoSQL, containers, and virtualization, enables him to move between legacy platforms and modern toolchains fluidly. He has a long track record with CMS/portal platforms—especially Liferay and SharePoint—having built products, led teams, and delivered dozens of community deployments. Equally at home writing new systems or extending existing ones, he favors pragmatic choices and rapid iterative delivery informed by both OO and functional approaches. Based in Florida, he combines entrepreneurial instincts from founding multiple firms with a willingness to dive into unfamiliar languages and ops tasks to ship working solutions.
