David Cardoner

Senior ML / MLOps Engineer & Agentic AI Developer

5+ years across the full ML lifecycle, feature engineering to large-scale production on Azure, GCP and Kubernetes. Today I build LLM agents with LangGraph, serve open-weight models on vLLM, and turn messy data into systems that drive product decisions.

About

Senior ML/MLOps engineer with a strong Python/SQL foundation and a research background, MSc in Statistics & Operations Research and six peer-reviewed publications applying ML and optimization to real forecasting and decision problems.

My recent work centres on agentic AI: LLM agents built with LangGraph, CrewAI and LangChain, served through FastAPI and operated via lightweight React interfaces. I care about the whole path, batching and quantisation for cheap self-hosted inference, CI/CD and Terraform for reproducibility, and SecDevOps checks (tool permissions, prompt injection) for agent workloads.

Strong interest in recommender systems, ranking and personalization.

Experience

MLOps & DevOps ML Engineer · CEATAEC 09/2025 - Present
  • Agentic AI with LangGraph (tool calling, retrieval, memory) exposed as FastAPI services on Kubernetes.
  • Internal React interfaces so analysts run agents, inspect tool calls and flag bad outputs.
  • Serve open-weight LLMs with vLLM on CUDA GPUs, batching & quantisation tuned for latency/cost.
  • SecDevOps across CI/CD: tool-permission and prompt-injection checks for agent workloads.
Senior MLOps & Data Engineer · SCRM - Lidl International Hub 05/2022 - 09/2025
  • Azure ML + Databricks pipelines for training and deploying Generative AI across the full lifecycle.
  • LangChain/LlamaIndex RAG over internal data; moved to agentic LangGraph workflows with streaming FastAPI.
  • Self-hosted LLM inference with Triton + vLLM on GPU nodes as a cheaper alternative to per-token APIs.
  • Distributed ML on Ray over Kubernetes; real-time pipelines with Databricks Structured Streaming.
  • Terraform IaC; observability with OpenTelemetry, Prometheus and Grafana.
Senior MLOps Engineer · Ciklum 12/2020 - 05/2022
  • Containerized cybersecurity detection models (Docker/Kubernetes) for consistent multi-env deployment.
  • Azure ML infrastructure + Azure DevOps CI/CD; model inference exposed via Python REST APIs.
  • Terraform IaC, Kubernetes RBAC and security policies; OpenTelemetry + Prometheus monitoring.
DevOps & Data Scientist · IREC / Eurecat 09/2018 - 12/2020
  • Designed ML/DL algorithms for applied forecasting and decision-support, later published in peer-reviewed journals.
  • Feature engineering, selection and model optimization; trained DL models on CUDA GPUs.
  • Optimization models for decision support over SQL and NoSQL stores.
