Hi, I’m Ian Stiefvater. I’m a senior software engineer with broad exposure to frontend, backend, data engineering, and cloud infrastructure, and I’ve built and operated real-time, data-intensive platforms for large-scale workloads. I enjoy solving hard problems at the intersection of data and systems—turning noisy, complex data into reliable, scalable solutions that power decisions for developers and investors. In my work, I blend hands-on coding with system design to deliver pragmatic, high-performance results. I’m energized by high-velocity environments and ambitious, quantitative use cases. Whether it’s real-time ETL, geospatial analytics, or AI-assisted tooling, I thrive on building maintainable architectures, collaborating across cross-functional teams, and continuously improving reliability, observability, and performance.
