About Noah Schmid

Ever since I was young I have been fascinated by electronics. I would always dream of building the best and coolest robots in the world. Through high school, I got to explore my passion deeper, taking engineering courses that let me design and build devices from scratch as well as coding courses that taught me how to make them work. It was magical to me, that with just a few parts and some lines of code I could make nearly anything. This passion led me to my role as a student at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. Unfamiliar with college life, I dipped my toes into the water my first semester, heavily refining my Python skills and learning the foundation of my engineering background. Hungry for more, I dove headfirst down the rabbit-hole of technology, learning C, C++, data structures, embedded hardware protocols, and the physics of electricity simultaneously. Taking on this challenge proved to me that there is no adversity I can't overcome, and showed that I had barely scratched the surface of everything there was to learn. That passion of learning new skills and dedication to my craft is still with me as I enter the industry. I have a lot more to learn, and a lot more to build. And I'm very grateful for the challenge that lies ahead.
