Senior🎓
Top SchoolKristina Gessel is a firmware engineer with a decade of hands-on experience bridging embedded systems, computer vision, and machine learning, currently advancing Optra Edge devices at Lexmark. With an MS in Computer Science (specializing in Computer Vision and ML) and ongoing PhD work, she moves smoothly between C++, Python, DeepStream/OpenCV pipelines and cloud tools like Azure and Databricks to take prototypes into production. Her background spans low-level firmware debugging and Coverity-driven reliability fixes to training custom object detectors, building Dockerized skills, and deploying RAG applications, showing both breadth and depth across the stack. She has led research projects that produced award-winning work in virtual unwrapping and practical tooling for CT-derived point clouds, and she routinely translates research-grade algorithms into customer-facing demos and documentation. Based in Lexington, KY, she combines academic rigor with field experience—having set up devices on customer sites and supported partners through deployment and post-delivery support.
