Summary
Rudolph Schmitz is a Senior Software Engineer with eight years of experience building modern web and mobile experiences using React, React Native, GraphQL and JAMstack frameworks like Gatsby and Next.js. He combines a strong front-end focus—HTML5, CSS3 (BEM/CSS Modules), Sass and tooling like Webpack—with CMS expertise across Shopify, WordPress, Contentful and Sanity.io to deliver production e-commerce and content-driven sites. At The Knot Worldwide he advanced from Software Engineer to Senior Software Engineer, and prior roles at Centene and Paradigm demonstrate a knack for translating complex requirements into maintainable UI-driven systems. His background in electrical engineering and commissioning for large controls projects gives him a systems-thinking approach to debugging, performance and cross-discipline collaboration. Comfortable prototyping in design tools (Figma, Photoshop) and shipping mobile apps with React Native, he often bridges design, product and engineering to iterate fast. Based in Missouri, he pairs enterprise experience with hands-on implementation of real-time and API-integrated solutions.
