Stephen Malina is a versatile engineering leader with 11 years of experience building production ML and backend systems, currently a Member of Technical Staff at Coefficient Bio after leading ML engineering at Dyno Therapeutics. He blends hands-on software engineering (notably at Uber and Compass) with machine-guided design and applied ML, steering teams from research prototypes to scalable production. His open-source contributions include low-level systems work—adding networking and instruction-counting features to a machine-code sandbox—highlighting comfort with both infrastructure and algorithmic detail. Stephen holds an M.S. in Computer Science from Columbia and a CS bachelor's from Dartmouth, reflecting a strong academic foundation for his applied work. Colleagues know him for moving complex projects forward across data, ML, and backend domains while keeping code comprehensibility and test rigor front and center. Based in New York, he favors pragmatic solutions that bridge research insights and robust engineering.
