Kevin Woolery
Co-founder, Chief Technology Officer
As co-founder and CTO, Kevin Woolery is responsible for technical vision and the
implementation and maintenance of the Jetpack platform.
An avid technologist and entrepreneur, Kevin began writing code at age nine and his
software has since contributed to several high-profile entertainment, infrastructure and
publishing systems. He began his career in computer switch maintenance for the U.S. Air
Force and soon went on to create a virtual reality racing simulation as a network
engineer at Illusion, Inc. and later would help transform the legacy software systems of
the Screen Actors Guild as a senior software engineer. An early member of the technical
team at Sandpiper Networks, Kevin contributed to the creation of the world’s first
Content Delivery Network and led several teams responsible for programming data
infrastructure on the Amp'd Mobile network. Prior to Jetpack, Kevin was co-founder and
chief architect at BUZZMEDIA, where he created products that became Web 2.0 standards
and transformed a single social media site into a large network of managed content and
advertising experiences.
Outside of work, Kevin enjoys running and he recently completed his third marathon. He
has a lifelong love of reading and learning, with a wide range of interests including
physics, electronics, computer vision, robotics, biology and literature. He loves to
travel and has been known to dabble in stand-up comedy. He has two children, Courtney
and Kyle, and current lives in Marina del Rey, Calif., with his wife, Heidi, and their
dachshund-Chihuahua, Lola. Still on his bucket list: running the Boston Marathon and
completing a 50-mile ultra-marathon.
Kevin holds an Associate of Arts degree in Liberal Studies from Moorpark College.
