Anna Kedzierska is a Staff Data Scientist and Data Engineer with 10 years of experience blending rigorous mathematical research and production software engineering, currently on the AI Professional Program at Stanford. With a PhD in Applied Mathematics and a track record across Automattic projects (Jetpack, WooCommerce, Tumblr) she moves fluidly between backend, frontend, and data-platform work, shipping features and reliability improvements at scale. Her open-source contributions include core Node.js refinements touching the V8 integration and test automation—work that impacts the runtime used by millions. She combines deep expertise in algebraic statistics and genomics with practical ML, recommendation and search systems, and has led engineering and data teams to bridge research and product. Based in A Coruña, Spain, she brings a research-first mindset to engineering problems and a coder’s curiosity (and yes, she’s a vegan who writes code).
