Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJason Schnitzer is a research faculty and serial founder with over two decades of hands-on experience designing broadband network technologies and commercializing them into widely adopted products. He founded multiple startups—Assembler, Pipeline, Stargus—that were acquired by industry leaders (CableLabs, Guavus/Intel/Thales, ARRIS/CommScope), and today leads Applied Broadband to advance programmable service platforms at scale. His work at CableLabs contributed to the DOCSIS cable modem era and his Assembler tooling now underpins proactive Wi‑Fi maintenance used by dozens of global providers. Combining a Ph.D. in telecommunications and cybersecurity with practical engineering chops from early network rollouts at Shaw, he bridges deep research with product-driven entrepreneurship. An intriguing throughline: he repeatedly turns network sensor and streaming telemetry insights into real-time operational systems that improve everyday broadband experiences—sometimes inspired, it seems, by diagnosing his kids’ “gaming lag.”
