Jake Cracknell is a senior software engineer with 11 years’ experience specialising in route optimisation, last-mile logistics and geo-enabled systems. He spent over seven years at Ocado designing and productionising vehicle route optimisers, prediction models from terabytes of GPS data, and scalable slot-booking and warehouse interfaces that reduced cost and emissions while improving driver experience. As co-founder/CTO of doorways.ai he built proprietary algorithms to map parking and front-door locations across the UK and instrument courier behaviour with smartphone sensors to squeeze capacity from the final 100m. He’s currently applying that domain expertise at a stealth logistics startup and recently joined Modern Milkman to continue shipping operationally critical systems. Jake combines research-led simulation work with pragmatic engineering—turning one-person prototypes into high-throughput production services—and has a BEng in Computer Science from Imperial College London. He’s as comfortable tuning graph-based drive-time models and vehicle performance predictors as he is refactoring large, distributed optimisation codebases.
