Summary
Aidan Schmitt is a Software Engineer II based in Minneapolis with nine years of hands-on experience building reliable applications across Java, C++, C#, and Python stacks. He has shipped production software at Omnitracs and currently contributes to engineering efforts at Critical Start, bringing strong full-stack familiarity from embedded and Android work to backend systems and databases like MySQL and MongoDB. Aidan’s background blends formal CS training with practical devops and hardware tinkering—Arduino and Raspberry Pi projects and Linux server hosting from his senior capstone—so he’s comfortable across low-level, cloud, and IoT-adjacent domains. He communicates effectively with stakeholders, demonstrated by a year-long faculty-facing web project at Luther College that required frequent customer collaboration. A former music major and multi-instrumentalist, he brings disciplined practice and ensemble teamwork to engineering teams and often applies creative problem-solving cultivated through performance. Practical, curious, and detail-oriented, he focuses on shipping high-quality, maintainable software.
