Dean Blank

Senior ML Engineer

I started my career on BlackRock's money market trading desk, then pivoted to tech — building automation platforms at SAP and now leading MLOps at Capital One. I design model training pipelines, statistical monitoring systems, and distributed computing infrastructure with Kubernetes, Kubeflow, and Spark.

Outside of engineering, I play classical piano.
