Jeff Dilley · Engineering and AI leader · Los Angeles

I started writing software as a teenager, for fun. I’ve done it professionally since I was seventeen.

I learned how to be a professional at a small company building applications for local governments. Since then I’ve helped build four startups that were later acquired, led teams, worked as an individual contributor, and done everything in between. Today I’m co-founder and CTO of Seneca Shield. Until October 2026 I was also a staff engineer at StartEngine. I’ve been fascinated by AI since I was a teenager, and I’ve used it every day since 2023.
