My name is Sam Schiedermayer, and I’ve spent the last 5 years working at all levels of the software/hardware stack.

I have spent time working on mobile software, computer vision systems, firmware, post-silicon validation, GPU microarchitecture, RTL, synthesis, and most recently agentic automation. This range has given me insights that others may miss, and has allowed me to move far faster.

Today, I optimize power and performance for Qualcomm’s Adreno GPU and build agentic tooling that turns PPA data into actionable RTL improvements. Having developed a deep view of optimization at the RTL and synthesis layers, I connect those details to system-level questions and the early design choices that shape power and performance across the full stack.
