My Story

Hi, I’m Jesse Hulswit – better known as JesseFPV. What started with building my first freestyle drone in 2015 quickly grew into a journey that took me across Europe and onto the world stage of FPV racing.


From helping out at my very first international race in Zeebrugge without any experience, to co-founding Dutch Drone Racing and directing world-class competitions, I’ve been involved in drone racing at every level — as a pilot, organizer, technician, and consultant.


With a background in marketing, branding, and software development, I don’t just help run events. I also create tools that empower race directors and drone clubs, such as FPV Scores and my contributions to RotorHazard, while using marketing expertise to promote the sport and reach new audiences.


In 2024 Dutch Drone Racing became an official foundation, with the mission to grow and promote FPV racing in the Netherlands and abroad. Today, I combine my technical, creative, and organizational skills to help organizations, brands, and federations bring drone racing to life — through consulting, event production, track design, and expert talks.
