Jesse White
Product engineer & delivery partner
Hi, I'm Jesse White. I design playful, high-trust web products and keep releases calm.
I blend product thinking, front-end craft, and backend dependability so launches feel like a little event, not a fire drill. Let's design something you're proud to ship and easy to grow.
Product + platform
Design systems meet healthy APIs and dependable infra.
Shipping rhythm
Weekly demos, transparent updates, and docs people actually read.
Tooling bias
Next.js, TypeScript, C#/Python/Go, and Playwright where it matters.
Now building with
Founders, PMs, and engineering leads
Bring me the weird idea, the hairy integration, or the launch you want to feel like a celebration. I keep the vibe bright while the systems stay reliable.
Current focus
- Playful, legible UI with responsive layouts and modern interactions.
- API-first builds: auth, payments, analytics, and integrations that do not break under pressure.
- Reliability discipline: logs, traces, feature flags, and fast rollbacks.
- Delivery partner: async updates, demos, and docs you can share with stakeholders.
Weekly rhythm
Shape
Short Looms and FigJam sketches to lock scope and vibe together.
Build
Pair-friendly commits, PRs with context, and preview links for quick feedback.
Share
Feature flags, dry runs, and release notes that feel human.

- Pairing and mentorship
- Release cadence + comms
Receipts & playgrounds
Proof of work
Peek at the code I ship, the patterns I lean on, and a concise resume you can share internally. Expect pragmatic, friendly docs and demos.
Toolkit
What I ship with
Expect
- Storyboards, architecture notes, and transparent delivery timelines.
- Clean interfaces, tests where they matter, and observability baked in.
- Collaborative communication: async updates and clear demos.
Playbook
How we'll work together
A calm, transparent cadence that keeps you in the loop without slowing execution.
Storyboard
