Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolHenry Schmid is a Senior Software Engineer based in Denver who transitioned from a decade in environmental consulting and GIS into back-end development, bringing a rare blend of domain expertise in geospatial data and production-grade Ruby on Rails skills. With five years of software experience and current engineering work at Greenzie, he specializes in building RESTful and GraphQL APIs, TDD workflows, and reliable database-backed services using PostgreSQL and ActiveRecord. His prior roles processing LiDAR, GNSS, and large spatial datasets at Cruise and in environmental mapping inform a pragmatic approach to data integrity, ETL, and CI/CD for complex inputs like CSVs and custom file types. Henry is comfortable across the full stack of backend systems—designing MVC applications, customizing JSON API output, and automating test suites with RSpec/MiniTest—while maintaining strong version control and deployment practices. He looks for mission-driven teams where his interdisciplinary background can accelerate product impact, and his non-obvious advantage is hands-on experience turning messy, real-world sensor and mapping data into auditable, production-ready datasets.
