About

Professional portrait of Matthew Schmiesing

I'm a software engineer and MBA candidate at Franciscan University of Steubenville, where I'm completing a concentration in AI Management alongside my BS in Software Engineering. I build full-stack applications using React, Ruby on Rails, Vue.js, and Python — and I care deeply about how AI can be embedded into real products, not just prototypes. At Saint Paul Center, I redesigned subscription architecture and led full-stack delivery using AI-assisted development tools like Cursor and Claude. I've also built agentic workflows, structured prompt systems, and analytics platforms — most recently leading an interdisciplinary team on a predictive maintenance system for Cummins as my senior capstone. My edge is bridging technical depth with clear communication: I translate complex requirements into structured tasks, review agent outputs critically, and maintain rigorous engineering standards across the SDLC.
