Keelan Schule is a Solutions Engineer at OpenAI, where he works with universities and public institutions to apply AI in practical, human-centered ways across teaching, student services, and campus operations. He holds a degree in Bioinformatics from the University of Saskatchewan and originally set out to build a career in scientific research, drawn to the idea of working in labs and contributing to discovery.
Raised in rural Alberta, Keelan’s path into technology was shaped by problem-solving out of necessity rather than tradition. That perspective carried him from research environments into enterprise systems, security, and large-scale technology adoption across highly regulated organizations.
Today, his work focuses on helping educators and institutions move from curiosity to confidence with emerging technologies, bridging research thinking with real-world constraints and opportunities.
