Jasper bought his first car, a Subaru WRX, and dreamed of upgrading it to stage 2+. Tuning shops were unhelpful, forums were fragmented, and parts sites lacked clear guidance—there was no definitive source of knowledge.
Too much money was spent for too little performance. It was a story Jasper kept hearing again and again. After countless trial-and-error attempts, he realized there had to be a smarter way.
In early 2024, Jasper created an AI that recommends the best tuning package for your budget and predicts real HP & torque. And ModPro AI was born!
A lifelong car enthusiast, Jasper founded his high school’s automotive club and launched Footprint Media at 14. Modifying his first WRX at 15 exposed the fragmentation of the aftermarket industry and sparked his drive to solve it.
Now studying business and entrepreneurship at Northeastern, he co-founded ModPro, where he leads the development of the AI Advisor to reimagine car customization through innovation and a crowd-sourced knowledge base.
