Stephen Thoma
Engineering leader bridging technical architecture and product strategy
Present
At Clearwater Analytics, I'm leading the development of Insights, a new analytics product that enables asset owners to benchmark their portfolios and generate insights against anonymized peer cohorts.
Past
Previously, I spent 6+ years as a founding engineer at unspun, where we pioneered on-demand custom-fit clothing using 3D body scanning and automated manufacturing. I developed ML algorithms for garment patterning, built the end-to-end order management system, and scaled the engineering team to 9 engineers.
A few of my favorite projects:
- I worked on omni-device identity at Augur (acquired by Wunderkind), you can see a POC exploit bridging an identifier between browsers here.
- A twitter bot tweeting analysis of Snapshot governance proposals
- An aggregator of the most interesting content on Hacker News
- A step-sequencer that creates harmonious music based on the position of tiles placed on a glass tabletop via MaxMSP and openCV
