Senior🎓
Top SchoolAlex Berndt is a Software Engineer and Data Platform Lead with eight years of experience building production ML and geospatial data systems from research prototypes to deployed services. Currently leading the Data Platform team at Overstory, he designs scalable ingestion pipelines for satellite imagery, large-scale labeling infrastructure, and geospatial tooling using Python, Dagster, Kubernetes and modern tile/STAC services. His background blends rigorous academic research in control theory and ML (doctoral work and systems & control MSc) with hands-on ML engineering, having led ML teams and shipped end-to-end pipelines for entity matching and NLP. He has practical experience across robotics, multi-agent optimization, and embedded systems from roles at Bosch, MIT and earlier research positions, which informs a systems-minded approach to data problems. Comfortable spanning full-stack geospatial interfaces (React + deck.gl) to backend orchestration, he combines algorithmic depth with production-grade engineering. Based in the Netherlands, he brings a rare mix of academic rigor and pragmatic delivery in geospatial ML and data platforms.
