Keith Adler is a Staff Machine Learning Engineer with 13 years of experience architecting and shipping AI infrastructure from gradient-boosted models to agentic LLM systems at global edge scale. He founded Cloudflare’s Machine Learning Platform, led GPU onboarding across tri-site cores and 400+ edge deployments, and is a named inventor on the Cloudflare AI Gateway patent. His work spans the full AI hardware and software lifecycle—from metal procurement and GPU testing to inference, RAG, fine-tuning, and developer-facing products that reached revenue. Previously at Capital One he architected an ML platform that enabled live scoring to drive $70M+ in annual savings, demonstrating a rare blend of product impact and deep systems engineering. Based in Austin, he pairs an MS in CS (AI/ML) with hands-on experience building IdP/KMS, distributed notebooks, and real-time inference pipelines, and often serves as the first internal user and recruiter for new AI teams. An underrated strength is his ability to move concepts like Model Context Protocol from prototype to production while owning both low-level hardware details and high-level developer experiences.
