Summary
Jack Hogan is a versatile software and ML engineer with a decade of hands-on experience building systems that blend hardware, RF design, and LLM-augmented software stacks. Currently a Fellow at Era Computer and a Machine Learning Researcher at Peraton Labs, he led the creation of Beacons—an end-to-end realtime social connection system—and engineered novel GNN architectures that boosted task accuracy by over 50%. At Purdue he developed a language-agnostic plagiarism detector processing 1,000+ submissions annually and is preparing a NeurIPS paper, while also leading a 2,000-member campus hackerspace to ship production-ready Rust and TypeScript projects. A founder who has shipped consumer apps with thousands of users and optimized GPU signal processing by 4× in industry internships, he pairs product-minded engineering with deep research chops. Relocating to San Francisco after graduating Purdue in 2026, he’s also an avid swimmer—an unexpected personal discipline that mirrors his focus and stamina in long, complex engineering efforts.
