Steve Loughran is a developer at Cloudera where he focuses on Hadoop and Cloud Integration. Prior to joining Cloudera he was a research scientist at HP Laboratories, where he was involved in the early Ubiquitous Computing/Wearable Computing work. This is why the failure of the smart home is such a disappointment. For fun he falls off bicycles -which is why he spent December 2021 shouting at lightbulbs while waiting for his broken collarbone to heal.
