Senior🎓
Top SchoolSteven Wu is a data insights leader with 12 years of experience who currently manages People Analytics and broader Data Engineering domains at Shopify, owning end-to-end pipelines from infrastructure to impact. Trained as a statistician (MSc) and comfortable with STATS101 plus regression, he increasingly applies observational causal inference and econometric methods to inform talent decisions around retention, engagement, performance, learning, and belonging. A pragmatic Python developer who built production tooling and internal apps, he values owning the full stack—data models, ingest jobs, GCP operations, and stakeholder-facing analysis—to turn analytics into action. He has a track record of shipping applied products (including an earlier analytics app for basketball coaches) and mentoring others to translate complex methods into clear, usable insights. Notably, he balances deep technical rigor with practical simplicity, preferring robust, interpretable approaches that drive organizational change.
