Hi, I’m Jesse Fischer, software developer & creative technologist based in Brooklyn. I’ve been making websites for 20+ years (hello, BBEdit!) For the past four years I’ve been at Work & Co (now part of Accenture Song), where clients have included Google, Audacy, Gatorade, PGA Tour, Steve Jobs Archive, and more. I also volunteer at Marcy Lab School, a free college alternative for nontraditional students interested in a career in tech.
I’ve found my niche in working closely with UX and motion designers to prototype and build stunning interactive experiences with seamless animation and transitions. Outside of work, I enjoy film photography, collecting vinyl records, playing jazz piano, gardening, and cooking brunch.
Here’s a selection of my professional work. Enjoy and be in touch!

I led work on the 3D proof-of-concept, using Three.js and React Three Fiber, as well as owning other site features including integrating with 3rd party vendors for product ratings and reviews, and the receipt scanning feature for the loyalty program. This project was highlighted at the Adobe Max conference in 2024. With the Work & Co design and development team.
