Jesse Reese

I’m a Senior Software Engineer, Principal Architect, and Founder of Quantum Media Group — a multidisciplinary studio at the intersection of technology, media, and scalable automation.

With 13+ years of experience leading full-stack engineering efforts, I specialize in architecting high-performance web platforms, enterprise content systems, and cloud-native applications. My technical toolkit spans Drupal (custom modules, decoupled architecture), PHP, TypeScript, Angular, Node.js, NestJS, and modern DevOps workflows using Docker, CI/CD, and AWS serverless infrastructure.

But today, I’m more than just a hands-on engineer — I’m a business owner, systems thinker, and product strategist. I work with startups, government agencies, and media brands to translate complex business goals into sustainable, secure, and accessible software solutions. I bring an obsessive focus on maintainability, performance, and end-user experience — especially where accessibility (WCAG 2.1, Section 508) is mission-critical.

My recent work spans:

• Leading citywide accessibility initiatives for government platforms

• Building AI-assisted content pipelines for enterprise media distribution

• Architecting headless CMS systems with Angular frontends and microservice backends

• Mentoring engineering teams and optimizing developer velocity

At my core, I bridge strategy and execution — aligning technology with business, without losing sight of the craft.
