Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolJude Hoogterp is an engineer based in San Francisco with six years of hands-on experience building applied systems at the intersection of manufacturing and real-time infrastructure. He founded QuickCut at Exo to deliver real-time infrastructure for manufacturing, and now contributes engineering leadership at a stealth startup while still grounded in applied research from Michigan Tech. His background in computer and industrial engineering lets him bridge embedded, controls, and ML-driven tooling—he implemented ML-based collection tools in an energy-thermo-fluids lab as an undergrad. Known on GitHub as an "Application Specific Integrated Person," he brings a pragmatic, systems-first mindset to product and infrastructure problems. Comfortable switching between founder-level product decisions and deep technical execution, he favors shipping lightweight, production-ready solutions that close the gap between lab prototypes and factory floors.
