Oliver Jessner

I’m Oliver, a former founder and CTO turned business analyst, tech journalist, and independent builder. I’ve spent more than a decade building software, leading teams, launching products, and working at the intersection of technology, business, and media. Today, I’m especially interested in practical tools that make complex workflows simpler, more transparent, and more accessible. I build products around problems I genuinely encounter myself, often in data analysis, local-first software, developer tooling, research workflows, and AI-assisted work. My goal is not to chase hype, but to create useful products that people can understand, trust, and actually enjoy using. Always happy to exchange ideas, learn from feedback, and support interesting builders along the way.
