Summary
Jessie Schalles is a Frontend Engineer with 13 years of experience building React-driven dashboards and web apps, currently focused on machine learning lifecycle tooling at Hawkfish in New York. She brings deep expertise in React and CSS, translating complex data and ML workflows into clear, usable interfaces. A longtime freelance developer and former Front End Engineer at VICE and Niche K12, she balances product-driven engineering with pragmatic front-end craftsmanship. Based in NYC, Jessie pairs her technical work with a persistent curiosity about the city's history and infrastructure—especially the subway—which informs a user-centered, systems-minded approach to design. Unusually for an engineer, she also trained in music performance (euphonium), a background that surfaces in disciplined collaboration and attention to rhythm in project delivery.
