Jesse Gibson is a pragmatic WebRTC and peer-to-peer systems engineer with 11 years of software experience, based in New York. He has been building video conferencing apps since 2018 and brings deep hands-on expertise in real-time media, decentralized sync, and backend robustness. An active open-source contributor, he has improved core functionality and server-side performance for the Gun decentralized graph database. Avid Neovim hacker and slight NixOS obsessive, he blends developer ergonomics with reproducible infrastructure practices. After a work sabbatical beginning in 2020, Jesse returned with a focus on shipping reliable, low-latency distributed systems and clean JavaScript that, frustratingly, still doesn’t write him back.
