Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolTimothy Su is a senior software engineer with 12 years of experience building personalized product experiences and progress-tracking systems, now focusing on personalization at WHOOP in Boston. He brings a hybrid background in finance and computer science from Northeastern, which surfaces in a data-informed approach to product engineering and experimentation. Timothy has shipped features across startups and large media companies—spanning Salsify, Canopy (acquired by CNN), and CNN’s Emerging Products team—giving him experience from core systems to consumer-facing recommendation and engagement surfaces. His early roles at Microsoft Bing and Hulu reflect a history of working on search, mobile, and recommendation problems that scale. Colleagues describe him as a generalist who sketches product requirements with product teams and then implements robust, testable solutions end-to-end. He tends to blend analytical rigor with pragmatic engineering, often surfacing non-obvious signals to improve personalization and user progress metrics.
