Karl Schmidt - Strategic Technology Advisor


I’m Karl, a Strategic Technology Advisor. I help creatives bring their visions to life.

In my 20+ year career I’ve programmed award-winning video games, led teams and departments at E-commerce and FinTech SaaS companies, and co-founded a video game studio, growing it tenfold. Since starting my business over 3 years ago, I’ve helped a variety of companies across those industries, including a film production company. I helped architect, evaluate and stabilize their technology strategies.

I’ve shipped products to market for 13+ platforms, and have a passion for quality and innovation. My methodology includes identifying and mitigating risks up-front, using proven solutions, all while exploring and testing innovative technology where it makes sense.

I live in Vancouver, BC with my wife Olya and our two bunnies, Charlie and Callie.
