About us
The team
behind Waves
We’re a small but mighty group of designers, engineers, storytellers, and “do-ers” dedicated to creating tools that support women through real-life hormonal changes. We listen, learn, and design alongside the women who use Waves, so every feature feels personal, practical, and genuinely helpful.
WHY WE'RE HERE
Hormonal shifts can affect everything from energy to mood — yet many women feel left to figure it out on their own. At Waves, we believe in combining proven science with real-life feedback, so the tools we create fit the way you actually live. Our team is here to make it easier to understand your body and build habits that help you feel your best.

Jessie
CEO/Founder
I set the company’s mission, build the right team, and guide our product vision from big picture to detailed roadmap. Yoga, climbing, and breathing techniques keep me balanced.
Best health tip: The right kind of exercise at the wrong time can do more harm than good — listen to your body and flow with your cycle phases.
Comfort food: A rich bowl of ragù alla bolognese or my nana’s shrimp dumplings.

Kaliu
Principal Software Engineer
I design the core technology that powers Waves to make it reliable, intuitive, and tailored to each life stage. Nature trips, camping with my dogs, and early mornings set the tone for my day.
Best health tip: Strength training, especially full-body moves, builds physical energy and clears the mind.
Comfort food: Pizza or Argentine empanadas for a nostalgic taste of home.

Marisa
Marketing Lead
I drive the marketing strategy and advocate for our users by creating campaigns and content that introduce women to Waves and help them feel understood. Cooking healthy meals and doing daily Pilates keep me energized.
Best health tip: Movement boosts mood — even on days you don’t feel like it.
Comfort food: A green and grain bowl with fresh, seasonal veggies.

Matias
Engineering Lead
I coordinate product and engineering to deliver new features for Waves. Mindful caffeine use, switching between sitting and standing, and keeping carbs in check help me stay energized and focused.
Best health tip: Keep your stress hormones in check — stress can undo the results of all your healthy habits.
Comfort food: Sourdough toast with almond butter and a cup of good coffee.

Sara
Business Ops Lead
I connect the dots across our data, finances, and team operations so your experience is smooth, secure, and well-supported. Running clears my mind, and I never skip my daily half-gallon of water.
Best health tip: Treat fatigue and irritability as hormone signals, not willpower problems, to feel more in control.
Comfort food: Steak, eggs, and fries.

Chris
Design Lead
I design the full Waves experience so it’s intuitive, enjoyable, and supportive. Strength training and getting outside for short walks keep me feeling my best.
Best health tip: Your cycle affects more than just your period — it can change energy, mood, and how your body responds to exercise.
Comfort food: Fresh sourdough with salted butter.

Ariel
Senior Software Engineer
I turn designs into user-friendly interfaces that make Waves intuitive and delightful to use. General fitness keeps me active, and I find balance by connecting with nature through gardening.
Best health tip: The key to health isn’t just to be strong; it’s to be able to move well for a lifetime.
Comfort food: Homemade burgers and pizza.

Joel
Machine Learning Engineer
Best health tip: Quality sleep supports everything from stress regulation to appetite control — it’s worth prioritizing.
Comfort food: Toblerone chocolates.

Adrian
Senior Software Engineer
I work on the front end of the app to create the best possible user experience. Morning gym sessions give me the mental and physical energy I need for the day.
Best health tip: Start with lifestyle changes — sleep well, eat healthy, and move your body to support hormone balance.
Comfort food: A big bowl of pasta with extra cheese.

Mate
Quality & User Success Lead
I make sure Waves runs smoothly for every woman, from the first tap to daily check-ins. Cycling, hiking, and deep breathing keep me grounded.
Best health tip: Quality sleep helps regulate hormones, boosts mood, and makes healthy choices easier.
Comfort food: Overnight oats with nuts and fresh fruit.
