Jared Poole is a CTO and seasoned engineer based in the Greater Ottawa area with seven years of hands-on experience building and scaling software products. He progressed from full-stack engineer to CTO at Scription, after co-founding a stealth startup that raised over $1.2M, grew to 14 employees, and completed an exit in 2021. Jared combines an electrical engineering and computing technology background from the University of Ottawa with practical startup leadership, bridging hardware-aware systems thinking and modern full-stack development. He favors rapid iteration and team-building that turns early-stage ideas into investable businesses, and has repeatedly shifted roles from individual contributor to strategic technical leader. Jared’s path suggests a founder-first mindset paired with the discipline of formal engineering training, enabling him to both ship code and shape product vision.
