Summary
Jeroen Van Hoof is an MLOps platform engineer with 11 years of experience building production-ready data and analytics platforms, currently leading Rabobank’s batch and real-time model serving stack. He designs and operates end-to-end ML infrastructures—Databricks, Airflow, AzureML, MLflow, Kong and cache-backed feature stores—using GitOps to enforce config validation, secure deployments and safe rollouts. His background spans data engineering, DevOps and machine learning, having optimised algorithms for Databricks, re-engineered slow ETL pipelines into minute-scale jobs, and led Quantexa network analytics deployments. Based in Amsterdam and trained at Eindhoven University of Technology, he combines hands-on engineering with developer-friendly abstractions like declarative YAML for faster time-to-production. Less obvious: he routinely bridges product and infra by enabling non-infrastructure teams to self-serve robust model APIs while retaining observability and ITSM controls.
