Blake Burch is an Analytics Engineer and entrepreneur with 10 years of experience building data strategy, automation, and AI-driven workflows for startups and enterprise brands. As co-founder and former CEO of Shipyard, he scaled a data operations platform to 2,600 organizations and shipped millions of enterprise workflows while also authoring 155 open-source Python ETL packages. He’s driven data teams and roadmaps at PMG and now leads analytics at Roboflow, where he built 100+ dbt models, cut query costs, and launched AI agents to autonomously handle sales and support. Blake blends product leadership with hands-on engineering—restructuring financial reporting, designing medallion architectures, and experimenting with “conversations as code” to simplify complex processes. Based in Austin, he pairs a maker’s mentality with a founder’s strategic view, and when he’s not optimizing pipelines you’ll find him hiking, drumming, or gaming.
