About Me

Welcome! I'm Alexa Griffith, a Senior Software Engineer passionate about creating solutions at the intersection of AI and Software. Currently, I'm at Bloomberg building AI Platforms on the Inference team. My main work involves building an inference platform using KServe, an open source CNCF project that allows AI engineers to easily deploy and serve predictive and genAI models. I'm also involved in Envoy AI Gateway, an open source project for using Envoy Gateway to handle request traffic from application clients to GenAI services.

I graduated with honors in Chemistry and a minor in Spanish from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville in May 2019. During my time at UTK, I had the opportunity to work on cutting-edge research in computational chemistry with Dr. Konstantinos Vogiatzis and gained experience through internships in the Scientific Computing group at Oak Ridge National Lab with Dr. Dmytro Bykov and at Technische Universität Kaiserslautern in Germany with research group van Wüllen.

I started off as a Software Engineer at Bluecore in NYC for ~2.5 years. My time there was very involved, starting with helping data scientists run their models, maintaining Airflow and designing DAG workflows within it, maintaining our recommendations service, and more. Later, I moved into a new Analytics Infrastructure team, where I built a high throughput, low latency Go API on Kubernetes. I designed and implemented authentication for our microservices, and I worked on our streaming platform, among other things.

My tech toolbox includes KServe, Airflow, Kubernetes, Docker, Google Cloud Platform, AWS, Golang, Python, Argo, and more. When not writing code, I write tech blogs and I host a tech podcast called Alexa's Input (AI). I'm also bookworm – I enjoy sharing my thoughts and recommendations on what I'm reading in blogs sometimes.
