CEO, Founder at Ollama
Palo Alto, California, United States
Summary
🤩
RockstarJeffrey Morgan is a founder and CEO based in Palo Alto with 12 years of experience building developer-facing infrastructure and AI tooling. He founded Kitematic (acquired by Docker), Infra, and now leads Ollama, a local LLM platform that helps run models like Llama 3.3, Phi-4 and Gemma locally. He is a hands-on full-stack engineer — shipping CLI and server skeletons, DevOps automation, and polished front-end UIs — with open-source contributions across ollama, infra, docker/toolbox, and kitematic. Previously a senior engineer and product manager at Docker and an intern at Twitter and Google, he blends product instincts with systems-level craftsmanship. Not obvious at first glance: his career consistently bridges developer UX and low-level infrastructure, making complex systems accessible to everyday developers.
