Senior🎓
Top SchoolSven Schmidt is a senior software engineer and team lead with 14 years building large-scale, safety-critical platforms in energy and industrial domains, currently focused on systems engineering at Atom Computing. He blends practical leadership—mentoring teams, running DevOps, and migrating legacy .NET to modern stacks—with deep hands-on expertise in C#, Rust, modern C++, and functional languages like F#, Haskell and Elixir. Sven favors component-oriented architecture with a functional, test-first mindset and a track record of replacing slow integration tests with fast unit tests to improve reliability and maintainability. He has designed failure-tolerant concurrent systems (including a custom .NET actor system inspired by Akka) and deployed NLP services on Kubernetes at IBM. Outside work he experiments with deep learning for image classification implemented in Rust, bringing research-level applied mathematics and a PhD background to practical engineering problems.
