SKILLS
ABOUT JOHN ALEXANDER
I built an AI-powered retail platform from a Raspberry Pi and a pet food store. JT Pets is a premium natural pet food store in Hamilton, ON. SqTools is the open-source retail automation platform I built to run it: inventory forecasting, vendor management, loyalty systems, and now a multi-agent AI system that manages itself. No CS degree. No VC funding. No team. Just 200+ pet food brands, a Square POS, and the belief that independent retailers deserve enterprise-grade tools. Former Pet Valu District Manager. Square Champion & Developer. Building the tools I wished existed when I was managing other people\'s stores. The code is open source. The agents are multiplying.
