Steven Shoemaker

people analytics manager at Deel. founder of Peoplesets and Peoplenometry. forever a student, and a hacker in the original sense: i build things, break things, and keep asking why long after the how makes sense.

i work in the gap between how organizations actually work and how they think they work. best in small, high-trust teams that move fast and measure twice. if you look closely enough, i get paid to add, change, or preferably remove text from some files.

studying japanese (n5, targeting n2). tokyo within three years. married to Hazel. two cats, Summer and Nori. j-horror, warhammer 40k, and a strong opinion about stairmaster programming.

small tools live at tools.stevenshoemaker.me. writing lives in notes.
