Joshua Stauffer
Software engineer · MusicianI'm a musician and software engineer based in Ticino, Switzerland. After a decade performing on lutes and guitars across the US and Europe, I now divide my time between music and software.
I'm a staff software engineer at Fivetran, where I maintain GX, the open-source Python library for data quality, and also work on the semantic layer.
Outside of work, my main project is fitdocs.ai, which turns .fit files from fitness devices into markdown workout pages and an analytics database you own. I also work on the History Atlas, an open-source map and event feed correlating historical people, places, and times.

A few recent performances.
SoloRecent collaborations include the Ojai Music Festival with Rhiannon Giddens and Francesco Turrisi, an appearance with Twelfth Night at Carnegie Hall, and a baroque folk record with Rebecca Scout Nelson. Earlier work has taken me to Opera Holland Park, the Royal Opera House Versailles, and Chamber Music New Zealand, alongside The Sebastians, Philharmonia Baroque, and the Lakes Area Music Festival, among others. I specialize on the theorbo. I studied lute at Juilliard, classical guitar at the Cleveland Institute of Music, and jazz guitar at the University of the Arts.
