Summary
Mitchell Schmidt is a software engineer based in Seattle with a decade of experience building networking, security, and platform features at Microsoft, including work on Accelerated Networking, SmartNIC/DPU subsystems, mirrored networking, VPN/firewall, and location platforms. A Rose‑Hulman Computer Science and Mathematics graduate who also taught and mentored CS students, he combines hands‑on engineering with an educator’s knack for explaining complex topics like databases and programming language concepts. His background spans embedded hardware projects and research-grade prototypes to large‑scale cloud networking services, reflecting fluency across C/C#, JavaScript, and systems-level development. Internships at Groupon and early volunteer work at Code.org and research programs demonstrate a long-running commitment to practical software and web tooling. Colleagues would note he brings both low‑level troubleshooting skills (oscilloscopes, Arduinos) and production software delivery experience to cross-disciplinary projects.
