Douglas Schmidt is a seasoned technology leader with 29 years' experience building and operating large-scale IT infrastructure across telecommunications, utilities, banking, agriculture and energy. He has led major transformations—including ITIL adoption, multi-data-center migrations to cloud and physical sites, and the infrastructure integration for Olam’s largest acquisition—while managing global unified communications and SAP consolidations. Equally comfortable with hands-on engineering and executive strategy, he has contributed to open-source and educational projects in Java concurrency, Android mobile development and middleware (ACE/TAO), reflecting a deep interest in concurrent systems and backend services. Based in Dallas, he combines startup and corporate JV experience with a track record of driving large cost and operational efficiencies across multicultural teams. An unusual strength: he blends academic-grade technical contributions (courseware and LiveLessons on concurrency) with pragmatic delivery of mission-critical enterprise operations.
