Product & Platform — Seattle, WA

Jess Primavera

Twenty years cutting the pattern before the product

I build the platform other products get built on — loyalty, reviews, fraud, and profile systems at Uber, TikTok, Expedia, and Amazon. Get the pattern right, and everything cut from it fits.

Intro

The Pattern

Every role starts the same way: a product needs a capability that doesn't exist yet, so I cut the pattern underneath it first. At Amazon that was a profile platform that Fashion, The Drop, and Luxury Stores were all built on top of. At Expedia it was Open World, a white-label platform that let partner brands run Expedia's travel technology as their own. At TikTok Shop it was a reviews platform built as a service, with GenAI summaries shipped on top of it a year later. At Uber it's Top Shopper, built by extending the Earner loyalty platform into grocery.

The throughline is trust. Fraud services, review integrity, loyalty economics, and ranking systems are the same problem in different markets: give people a reason to believe what they're seeing, and the commerce follows.
