Summary
Jack Schedel is a software engineer with nine years of experience bridging embedded systems and AI, currently at Microsoft and based in Gainesville, Florida. He thrives on algorithmic problem-solving and optimization, working across the full abstraction spectrum from MSP430 firmware and real-time telemetry to TypeScript/Next.js web platforms. Jack led strategy and built race-analysis tooling that helped his Solar Gators team win the 2023 Formula Sun Grand Prix, combining Go simulations with Python optimization to produce optimal driving strategies. He co-founded and developed an interactive Next.js platform for customizable children’s books, shipping a typesafe API with Drizzle ORM and server-side rendering. His background includes secure, latency-sensitive embedded work at Oak Ridge National Laboratory and production .NET services in Azure, showing a rare mix of low-level systems rigor and cloud-service delivery. Beyond code, he enjoys the logical puzzles found at the extremes of abstraction and designs practical tooling that turns analysis into race-day wins.
