    Lorena Mesa

    Vice-Chair, Python Software Foundation & Data Engineer, GitHub

    Chicago

    Political scientist turned coder, Lorena Mesa is a software engineer on Sprout Social’s data science team, Director on the Python Software Foundation, and PyLadies Chicago co-organizer. Lorena's time at Obama for America and her subsequent graduate research required her to learn how to transform messy, incomplete data into intelligible analysis on topics like predicting Latinx voter behavior and forecasting Chicagoland Latinx home ownership growth. It's this unique background in research and applied mathematics that drove Lorena to pursue a career in engineering and data science. One part activist, one part Star Wars fanatic, and another part Trekkie, Lorena abides by the motto to "live long and prosper".
