Track record

The work behind the numbers.

Five projects I led at Golfers Paradise. Open any card for the full story.

Built with AI

Things I've shipped with AI.

I'm not a developer. I lead the build: I write the spec, own every business decision and check the results. AI coding agents write the code under my direction and review.

Golfers Paradise, 2026

An in-house business intelligence platform

Replaced an expensive external BI subscription with our own platform: dashboards, an AI chat that answers questions about the company's data, AI-written reports, the sales bonus system and a supplier portal.

4 months
from first line of code to production-ready
110
metrics, each defined exactly once
13
core KPIs verified against the old system every night

Company-wide rollout starts in October 2026.

Golfers Paradise, 2026

A repair and warranty case manager

Rebuilt the app that tracks every repair and warranty case from the store counter through HQ and the supplier, and back to the customer. Replaces a version built by an external developer.

3.5 months
one person directing AI agents
Same day
for requirement changes that used to mean long back-and-forth
~50%
less time per case (my estimate, measured after rollout)

Feature-complete and deployed. Store rollout is next.

Right here

This website, too.

Built the same way: I directed an AI coding agent through the design, the build and the guardrails. The assistant only answers from my own material, and it's limited so nobody can misuse it.

I bring people along

Regular one-on-ones with my team, trained my successor, and got a CEO using AI every day.

I start with the task people dislike

Then we automate all or part of it. One real example convinces more than any explanation.

AI advises, people decide

A great sparring partner, never the final decision maker. The people using it matter most.

Just ask.

My AI assistant knows my projects, references and goals. Ask it anything, or paste a job description to see how I fit.

What my CEO says

“What differentiates Jesse most clearly is the combination of entrepreneurial thinking with humility and strong values.”

Marc Rohr, CEO, Golfers Paradise AG

“Within this peer group, Jesse consistently stands out.”

“He takes responsibility proactively, leads by example and makes clear, well-reasoned decisions even when information is incomplete and ambiguity is high.”

“I recommend Jesse without reservation.”

Beyond the CV

Four places that shaped me.

  1. Where I grew up

  2. 2015
