Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAlexandria Pokorny is a Lead Software Engineer with eight years of experience delivering machine learning solutions and cloud-native APIs, currently shaping autonomous product teams at State Farm. She combines hands-on expertise in Java, Python, Spring Boot, PCF and AWS with a penchant for Terraform and CI/CD pipeline challenges to consistently move models from prototype to production. Her background in biomathematics and work on PlantCV — where she implemented and rigorously tested a color-correction submodule for high-throughput plant phenotyping — shows a strong bridge between research-grade image processing and enterprise software. An enthusiastic mentor and collaborative team-builder, she thrives on tricky code and continuous learning. Off-platform, she translates the discipline of a former circus aerialist into resilient leadership and an overcommitted garden.
