We've been running an annual "Welcome to Summer BBQ" since way back in 2017 (almost a decade ago!). From the backlot at our old Union St office, to the patio at 108 State St - we've kept the good times rolling from the moment the sun comes out in upstate NY.

We did another one last Friday to kick off the weekend, and it won't be our last - so here's to more good summers, and a photo drop of 9 years of summer BBQs!

JG 🤜🤛 LATIN AMERICA!

This is an incredibly exciting time for JG - Darrin, Jason and Jory hosted our first ever JG Nearshore Summit with our team in Latin America 🇧🇷🇦🇷

We’re building something special with our nearshore team, with the biggest part of it being the incredible JG culture we were able to witness firsthand!

We’ve got more photos from the trip coming soon, but for now check out this recap video - Here’s to bigger and better!!

The JG Mugshot Challenge is back for 2026 ☕

What started in 2016 with Dan Kollar taking a JG mug to Alaska has turned into one of our favorite traditions. Since then, JG mugs, glasses, and water bottles have made their way all over the world, from mountain tops to beaches to places far beyond Schenectady

For 2026 Q1, our team did not disappoint!

We’re kicking things off with Casey bringing the JG mug all the way to Antarctica, followed by the rest of our Q1 mugshots from across the globe 🌍

The latest edition of JG’s employee AI Newsletter is live! The newsletter was created to help our team continue building knowledge and practical skills in AI

Our VP of Engineering, Ian Ballard, shares insights on the latest shifts in AI engineering. Topics include harness engineering, managed AI agents, orchestration frameworks, and the changing role of developers as AI workflows become more autonomous

We’re proud of the AI conversations happening across JG. Credit to Ian for continuing to lead thoughtful discussions around AI learning, experimentation, and implementation

And yes, the image attached to this post was generated with AI 😉

We appreciate the coverage from the Albany Business Review on our President, Jon Keller 👉 https://www.bizjournals.com/albany/news/2026/04/30/jon-keller-jahnel-group.html

Jon’s story is a good reflection of how we think about growth at Jahnel Group. He started in retail, worked his way into leadership roles early, and built his career by hustling and being willing to learn at every step

The article highlights his path into tech, his focus on AI and agentic development, and his perspective that people who use AI will outpace those who don’t

Proud to have Jon leading the way!

Jon Keller's mindset as a lifelong learner propelled him to become a leader at the Schenectady software firm Jahnel Group.

We had the University at Albany Massry School of Business at JGHQ last week for a visit with our team

Darrin Jahnel and Jason Jahnel spent time with the group sharing what it looks like to build and run a business day to day, followed by a full office tour and an open discussion

We appreciate the students making the trip to JGHQ. Always a good time connecting with the next group of builders and operators!

We’ve been on the ground at Google Cloud Next 2026 in Las Vegas this week

This is where the direction of enterprise AI gets set. From agent-based systems to real-world deployments, the focus is shifting from experimentation to ex*****on

Our team is here connecting with leaders, learning from what’s working at scale, and bringing those insights back to our clients

At JG, we’re not watching AI from the sidelines. We’re building and delivering solutions that solve real problems across data, cloud, and application layers

Each quarter, we create a full report to document what’s happening across JG

Not just the big wins, but the moments that define how we operate. War Week, team challenges, learning, and the day to day progress that builds over time

Some of the photos in this post are pulled directly from our Q1 report. It’s our way of capturing the energy of the team and keeping a record of what we’re building together!
