Summary
Susan Sun is a founding engineer and data scientist with 11 years of experience building full-stack data solutions across healthcare, education, and early-stage startups. She combines hands-on experience shipping predictive models, pipeline infrastructure, and MLOps with a track record of building teams and training practitioners—teaching data science and engineering at Hunter College, Columbia, and in industry bootcamps. Her roles span founding early data teams, leading platform migrations (Oracle to BigQuery), and developing data products used for business strategy and forecasting. Comfortable as both IC and instructor, she runs a past freelance LLC focused on health, civic, and education tech and has repeatedly transitioned between contract and embedded roles to solve high-impact problems. Based in New York, Susan pairs a Wharton economics undergraduate with a Columbia statistics master’s, bringing quantitative rigor, practical engineering, and an educator’s knack for making complex analytics usable. An understated strength: she often combines curriculum development with production deployments, translating pedagogical clarity into maintainable data systems.
