About Mya Schmitz

I like building things that work reliably and solving problems across the full stack. At Collins Aerospace, I\'ve spent 3.5+ years doing that across a few different domains: enterprise.NET services for aircraft data management and operations, AWS IoT Core MQTT infrastructure for aircraft-to-ground communication, AWS monitoring across multiple customer deployments, and a Python/Django system used by TSA nationwide.Outside of work, I build projects that combine my interests with learning new tech. ClimbDB (climbdb.app) helps climbers find and review gyms, built with TypeScript, SvelteKit, and Firebase with Mapbox integration. Recipe Hub replaced my messy Google Sheets of recipes with a proper recipe management platform using Next.js and PostgreSQL. Rooted is a plant care app I built with React Native to track watering, fertilizing, and growth for my household\'s plants, with photo documentation to monitor progress over time.Tech stack: C#.NET, Entity Framework, Python, TypeScript, JavaScript, React, Next.js, Node.js, PostgreSQL, SQL Server, AWS (IoT Core, CloudWatch), Azure DevOps, Git, GitHub, GitLab, CI/CD Pipelines
