Senior🎓
Top SchoolTitus Von Köller is a Machine Learning Engineer with 17 years of experience specializing in MLOps, DevSecOps, and productionizing ML systems, currently leading the bitsandbytes open-source project at Hugging Face. He transitioned from psychology and neuroscience into computer science, bringing a research-minded approach to engineering that began with Python for complex data analysis and evolved into MSc-level CS work. Titus funded a four-month full-time contribution to bitsandbytes in 2023, helping integrate advanced CUDA kernels and FSDP support that power quantized LLMs and contributed to the library’s growth to over 2.6 million monthly downloads. His background includes leading on-prem ML platforms for ESA, security-critical DevSecOps at scale, and developer-experience improvements across CI/CD and continuous training pipelines. He founded the PyData Zurich meetup to foster inclusive ML communities and is comfortable bridging deep research, low-level CUDA work, and large-system operationalization. Titus is also an Emacs user and retains a curiosity about language and cognition, reflecting his interdisciplinary roots.
