About the host

The host asking builders what they made, and how they made it.

Jesse Waites is a technologist and software architect building beautiful products across AI, web, mobile, and hardware.

Two decades of shipping software have built a proven track record of turning ideas into working products. That work spans the full stack and several disciplines, with as much attention paid to how a thing feels to use as to whether it works.

More recently, applied AI has become a deep focus. It has collapsed the cost of building, and the interesting part is the people using that shift to make real things rather than just demos.

Jesse is based in Boston and speaks on panels about AI and emerging technologies across New England. Designed With AI grew out of those conversations: a place to sit down with the people actually building things and get into the specifics of what they made and how they made it.
