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.

Open to a small amount of consulting

Studying Japanese, aiming for N5. Tokyo within three years. Married to Hazel. Two cats, Summer and Nori. J-horror and Warhammer 40K.
