Jack Bookey
Hey I'm Jack. I'm an engineer who loves digitizing supply chains and the built world. I recently moved to the US/MX border to lead product for a $2.5M pre-seed startup building an AI-native ERP for perishables. Before that, I worked in venture capital backing enterprise tech startups, and held supply chain roles at PepsiCo and Amazon.

- Built data pipelines at PepsiCo processing tens of millions of records nightly. Created a data mesh bridging legacy and SAP HANA forecasts.
- Trained a robot arm to organize a desk via imitation learning on HuggingFace's LeRobot platform. Built my own eval suite and data collection loop.
- Built MySurf, an app that combines buoy data, weather APIs, and personal session ratings to forecast surf quality for you. Because surf conditions aren't one size fits all.
