Senior🎓
Top SchoolBreon Schmidt is a Senior Software Engineer in Melbourne who blends 15+ years of design-minded product work with nine years of focused industry experience building data-rich, user-centered applications. He moves fluidly between Next.js frontends and FastAPI backends, translating complex biological and clinical datasets into intuitive visualisations and production tools. His background spans startups, medical research institutes and agency work, where he’s led cross-disciplinary teams, shipped ML-enabled clinical interfaces, and delivered measurable product outcomes. A PhD-trained bioinformatician, he has built classifier pipelines and visualization systems that reduced visual sparsity and achieved strong predictive performance in high-dimensional biology problems. Colleagues rely on him to bridge research and product—turning exploratory science into robust software—and he’s equally comfortable prototyping in Figma as writing scalable backend services. Now at Amber Electric, he’s continuing to fuse design sensitivity with rigour around complex data and scientific workflows.
