Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolDean Blank is a Senior Machine Learning Engineer with eight years of experience building and operating large-scale ML systems, currently focused on credit risk modeling and MLOps at Capital One. He combines a finance background (Summa Cum Laude B.S. in Finance) with an MS in Computer Science from Georgia Tech to bridge domain knowledge and production-grade engineering across data pipelines, model refitting, and monitoring. Dean has deployed automated model lifecycle and ETL solutions on cloud platforms (AWS/Azure) using container orchestration, IaC, and orchestration tools like Kubernetes and Jenkins. Prior roles at SAP and BlackRock sharpened his skills in network and data infrastructure automation as well as high-stakes quantitative workflows. He’s comfortable across languages from C/C++ to Python and frameworks from TensorFlow to PyTorch, and tends to favor pragmatic, observable systems that keep models reliable in production. An understated strength is his ability to translate complex technical results to non-technical stakeholders—making sophisticated ML both usable and auditable.
