About Jerush Christopher

Hey there! I’m a technical founder with a passion for building AI-powered consumer applications that make a real difference. As the co-founder of Shipp, I had the incredible opportunity to create a dating platform. We combined real-time matching algorithms with in-person event coordination, and in just two years, we grew to over attendees across 70+ partner venues. Not only did we help people connect, but we also generated $150K+ in additional revenue for those businesses. It just goes to show that technology can foster deeper connections beyond the swipe culture!My journey has taken me through full-stack development, machine learning, and product strategy. Whether I’m building iOS apps in Swift or web platforms in Next.js, my focus has always been on solving real user problems through data-driven experimentation. Prior to Shipp, I dived into ML and battery research at NC State, where I developed algorithms to predict material properties and published findings that opened new doors in battery research.Now, I’m on the lookout for exciting opportunities where I can blend my technical expertise with product leadership to create AI-first products that genuinely enhance people’s lives. Let’s connect and explore.
