Jesse Eichner · St. Augustine, Florida

Rooted in the oldest city. Building what’s next.

I’m a founder and builder who puts technology to work for people: AI for local business, a public case for Internet rights, and free service to my parish. Different rooms, one line.

Personal statement

Technology is at its best when it’s useful, honest and in service of people. So I put AI to work for local businesses, make the case for Internet rights in Florida, and give my skills and time to my parish. Different rooms. One line.

  • Rooted

    I build from St. Augustine, the oldest continuously inhabited European-founded city in the continental U.S., where a long memory is the default.

  • Disciplined

    Wing Chun is about economy: the shortest path, no wasted motion. I try to build and lead the same way.

  • Useful

    If it doesn’t help a real person or a real organization, it doesn’t ship.

Ventures & work

Three things I’m building.
One I give away.

Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church

My parish in St. Augustine. I offer my technology skills at no cost: a rebuild of the parish website, and a catechism portal to support the community’s teaching. I also serve as a parish steward, with a hand in facilities, weekly catechism coordination and festival operations.

Discipline · The Dragon Institute

Sihing.
Elder brother.

At the Dragon Institute I’m a Sihing: the senior student, the “elder brother” who helps lead class and teaches drills and sparring to newer students. The school teaches Dragon Family Wing Chun, a branch of the Leung Sheung lineage that traces back to Ip Man.

It’s where I practice what the rest of my work asks of me: patience, structure, and doing the simple thing correctly, again and again.
