Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolStephen Kappel is a seasoned engineering leader and co-founder with 12 years of experience building data-driven products and developer-facing features, now heading engineering at Peerbound in New York. He combines deep applied data science—an MS in Data Science from Columbia—and hands-on software engineering experience from roles at Datadog and Code Climate, where he led teams that shipped anomaly detection, forecasting, log summarization (a patented effort), and analytics platforms. Stephen has repeatedly moved projects from research to production at scale, blending Python, Scala/Spark, and occasional Go to deliver reliable ML-powered features. He’s equally comfortable growing teams and building internal analytics to inform operational decisions as he is inventing customer-facing capabilities that speed engineering velocity. Currently building in stealth, he brings a pragmatic product sensibility and a track record of turning terabytes of telemetry into actionable insights.
