Summary
Jack Blair is a product-obsessed engineer and designer with six years of hands-on experience building AI-native products and ML systems. As Co-Founder & CTO of Terac he’s creating an infrastructure layer that automates participant recruitment, AI-moderated interviews, and rapid UX insights, after earlier building fraud-detection ML at Tailed that stopped significant losses for major DTC brands. He blends visual design engineering training with full-stack research and hardware experience—from stereo camera geospatial visualizations and rover-like orchard sensors to rocket propulsion test stands—bringing uncommon cross-domain fluency to product problems. Based in San Bruno, Jack moves fluidly between prototyping, model research, and production integration, prioritizing human-centered design in AI workflows. He’s equally comfortable iterating CAD and manufacturing prototypes as he is training models and shipping SaaS features, making him a founder-engineer who accelerates research into deployable systems.
