John Pole

Consultant
Senior Software Engineer | Full stack lead Engineer

John Pole lives in Schenectady, NY and is a Lead Full-Stack Developer with extensive experience in Java and Angular. He recently certified in Google Cloud Generative AI and have been actively testing these new agentic tools. He wants to bridge the gap between ""hype"" and ""daily utility"" for fellow developers.

He has experience mentoring developers and judging hackathons (like Hack RPI or HVTechFest Open Data Hackathon), so he is comfortable explaining complex concepts to a mixed audience. He can adjust the depth of the demo based on the crowd's reaction.
