Jesse Wilson
Twenty-five years building software. Now I bring that — plus a psychology researcher’s eye for how people actually use it — to QA and AI evaluation.
The Builder
25 years of software across web, databases, automation, and systems. I’ve shipped things, broken things, and fixed things.
The Researcher
Fourth-year Honours Psychology at Carleton, with active ML and EEG research. I understand how people think, not just how systems work.
The Evaluator
I work with AI tools at a level that goes beyond casual use — engineering prompts, assessing outputs, and knowing when the model is wrong.
Featured work
Skoolwerx
SkoolWerx started as a personal tool for getting through my own courses and turned into something other students actually use. Everything here — the quizzes, study guides, podcasts, and matching games — was designed and built by me using carefully engineered AI prompts, iterated across a dozen courses and three semesters. It’s proof that AI tools, used thoughtfully, produce something worth using.
Currently Seeking
Hi-tec, Psy-tec, QA
I’m available for part-time or contract work — QA, AI evaluation, technical consulting, or anywhere software and human behaviour intersect. Twenty-five years of building things means I know how they break. A psychology researcher’s perspective means I understand why that matters to the people using them. Remote, flexible, and genuinely interested in work that’s worth doing well.
About Jesse
The Short Version
I’m a fourth-year psychology student at Carleton who arrived there after twenty-five years of building software. Along the way: technical support for Apple, robotics systems for dairy equipment, massage therapy, furniture design. The thread through all of it is the same — figuring out how complex systems work and making them work better for the people using them. I build with AI tools at a level most people don’t, and I bring a researcher’s eye to everything I test, evaluate, or ship.
