Jack J is the founder of iTero Gaming. He was a financial analyst for HSBC before he channelled his passion in AI to develop predictive models for esports results. Jack J’s passion for AI led him to create iTero Gaming where he offered League of Legends gamers decision-making tools. iTero Gaming released its app in September of 2022.
