Jonathan Blanchet is a seasoned engineering leader with 17 years of experience building product-focused teams and AI-driven image tooling, currently serving as VP of Engineering at Jasper after leading ClipDrop at Stability AI. A former co-founder and CTO of Init ML and a Software Engineer in Residence at Google Arts & Culture Lab, he blends startup grit with research-oriented AI/ML experimentation on images. He began his career founding front-end engineering at The Food Assembly and has deep full-stack roots from roles at Eyeka and Lab212, plus teaching JavaScript at Gobelins. Comfortable moving between hands-on coding and executive strategy, he has a track record of turning creative vision into production systems and shipping interdisciplinary projects. Based in Paris, he brings both academic and maker sensibilities—having worked in lab collectives and formal arts/tech residencies—that inform a pragmatic, design-aware approach to engineering leadership.
