Building towards Superintelligence
Defining quality standards and curating the training data. The work that decides what the model learns to value.
Hey there 👋
I'm Jesse. I build thoughtful AI and fly planes.
I curate the training data and set quality standards for reinforcement learning on Meta's next-generation AI systems. Before that: Llama 4, MovieGen, Llama 3. Before AI: commercial pilot, CPA, Uber. Writing weekly at Decision Height.

What I'm actually up to.
Writing
Decision Height, every week
AI strategy for people who build real things. Written from inside frontier labs, not from the sidelines.

/ the story
Flight decks, spreadsheets, frontier models. None of it was planned.
Pilot before college. CPA at 23. Uber during its most chaotic years. Berkeley MIDS while shipping Llama and MetaAI to billions. Now: Meta Superintelligence Lab.
