Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSamuel Schmidt is a computer scientist with 10 years of experience building and operating large distributed systems at Amazon, UPS, Cisco, and Disney. He holds a BSE from University of Michigan and an MS in Computer Science from University of Cincinnati, and brings a developer-first approach that emphasizes incremental process and operational improvements as much as technical design. At Amazon he maintained services powering millions of devices, and earlier roles included embedded systems work at Cisco and operational tooling for Disney attractions—demonstrating breadth from low-level C to production-scale distributed services. He focuses on being a force multiplier: improving team health, tooling, and workflows to make building and maintaining complex systems more efficient. Notably, he has a track record of creating practical, time-saving applications used in the field (e.g., animatronics maintenance tools) and starting team rituals like weekly “jam sessions” to spread learning. Based in Seattle, he combines engineering rigor with a continuous-improvement mindset that favors durable, operationally sound solutions.
