Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolCole Hoffer is a Staff Software Engineer specializing in production AI systems, currently leading AI engineering at Reforge after Monterey AI’s acquisition. With a decade of experience and an MEng from MIT, he blends research-grade rigor with hands-on production work—building LLM-enabled assistants, semantic search and vector stores, and scalable recommendation and MLOps platforms. He’s repeatedly turned prototypes into shipped systems, from causal inference on 40M clinical records to ML platform boilerplates integrating Spark, Ray, MLflow and Argo. Comfortable across the stack, Cole’s background spans internships at Google and IBM to founding ML engineering at a startup, and he often bridges product needs with novel prompt-engineering and hybrid model architectures not obvious from job titles alone.
