Jesse Palmer started programming back in the day when BASIC was still a thing. He spent much of his early childhood developing video games on his sweet Atari 400. Jesse started off his professional career by slinging ColdFusion, PHP, ASP.NET, and Java. Around 2013, he started his first contributions to AngularJS and thought that maybe this whole AngularJS thing had legs.

Jesse now finds himself as a Senior Engineering Manager at Handshake where he leads the Student Engineering organization. When Jesse isn't programming, you can find him playing video games or cheering on his beloved Virginia Tech Hokies. He lives with his wife, Elizabeth, and his two cats, Nicky and Gracie, in San Francisco.
