About Schuyler Mudgette

Disciplined and technically skilled U.S. Navy veteran with more than five years of experience as a Nuclear Machinist’s Mate and currently working as a Project Manager focused on mechanical energy efficiency. I bring a disciplined, technically focused, and solution-oriented perspective to mission-critical roles such as Critical Facilities Technician. My military and civilian experience has been concentrated in high-octane system operations, emergency response, and mechanical reliability — skills that translate directly to preserving system integrity and operational continuity in high-stakes environments like data centers- Military Experience: Maintained and repaired high-energy propulsion and hydraulic systems aboard a fast-attack submarine, where a single mistake could result in mission failure or loss of life. Notable incidents include: • Hydraulic Line Rupture Response: Led the immediate response to a catastrophic hydraulic rupture while under active system pressure and without the option for shutdown due to mission restrictions. Contained the failure, repaired the rupture, and restored system functionality within hours — preventing mission delay and ensuring crew safety. • Critical Pump Rebuild Underway: During deployment, executed a full teardown and rebuild of a failed reverse osmosis (2nd stage) pump, restoring potable water to the crew. Completed the repair overnight under resource-limited submarine conditions, ensuring mission continuity- Civilian Experience: Manage mechanical energy efficiency projects, regulatory compliance, and technical inspections for commercial clients — directly applicable to troubleshooting, repairing, and optimizing life-safety critical systems within a data center environment. Recognized for leadership under pressure, emergency recovery, and mechanical reliability. Holds an active Secret Security Clearance.
