Summary
Parker Smith is a Platform Engineer and SRE at Lexmark with 12 years of software experience, specializing in Kubernetes and Azure DevOps for production deployments. A Vanderbilt graduate with concentrations in machine learning and computer vision, he has built production CV systems—retrainable pose recognition and Valvoline-specific object detection—and automated database services with Flask. He codes across C++, Python, Go, Rust, TypeScript, Java, and JavaScript, applying that polyglot skillset to SaaS, devops, web, and AI/ML projects. Parker pairs technical depth with strong communication skills honed through speech and debate, journalism, and symposium presentations—skills recognized internally with a Manager Appreciation Award. He’s self-motivated, detail-oriented, and enjoys deep technical curiosity (from self-compiling software to math), often teaching himself new languages and tools to solve problems. Based in Lexington, KY, he’s open to software development, SRE, or product roles that leverage both his infrastructure and ML/vision experience.
