Senior🎓
Top SchoolScott Schmidt is a Senior AI Forward Deployed Engineer and seasoned cloud architect with over a decade of hands-on experience building production-grade AI, LLM, and AWS-based solutions for enterprise clients. He blends technical leadership and customer-facing strategy to design scalable, secure Intelligent Agents and Slack integrations that drive measurable productivity gains across large organizations. Previously he led Slack’s Technical Architecture team, delivering AppSec-approved integrations used by tens of thousands of employees and connecting Salesforce workflows into the digital HQ.

Before cloud and AI, he ran large-scale operations and built a custom ERP—an unusual operations-to-engineering arc that informs his pragmatic, cost-aware approach to architecture. Based in Seattle, he pairs certified AWS expertise with a knack for turning enterprise challenges into deployable, user-centered systems.
