Ting SUN
Summary
🤩
RockstarTing Sun is an Applied Scientist in Toronto with a PhD and six years of hands-on experience building perception and ML systems for autonomous driving, robotics, and 3D reconstruction. Her background spans computer vision, SLAM, image/video processing, and machine learning, with roles ranging from research at Huawei and HKUST to production-focused engineering at Gatik and Luxolis. She has moved models from research to deployment—diagnosing SLAM pipelines, improving object detection across adverse weather, and validating sensor stacks for real-world autonomy. Ting also contributes to open-source backend work on the RisingWave stream-processing project and has strengthened test coverage in AssertJ, reflecting a taste for robust, production-ready systems beyond pure research. Colleagues describe her as someone who blends rigorous academic training with pragmatic engineering, often surfacing subtle data- and dependency-level fixes that improve system reliability.
