About Christa Cody
I’m a senior AI/ML data science leader with 10+ years of experience turning complex data into actionable solutions and engaging experiences. With a Ph.D. in Computer Science and a career spanning experimental design, advanced analytics, and stakeholder collaboration, I lead teams to deliver creative, high-impact solutions.Currently, I serve as a Senior AI/ML Data Scientist at SAS, where I design immersive, high-analytics experiences that help clients envision how data can transform their businesses. Previously, I led SAS Education’s Learning Data Science group, where I empowered the organization to embrace data-driven decision-making and scoped projects to answer the right questions with precision and clarity.As a first-generation college graduate who grew up with limited resources, I developed a deep appreciation for education and a passion for using knowledge to create impactful change for all. Today, I share my expertise in data science and machine learning as a speaker, mentor, and as the advisory board Co-Chair for Tennessee Tech University’s master’s in data science program.Outside of work, you can find me trying to sew a ballgown in a weekend, 3D printing intricate cosplays, trekking through the remote wilderness with nothing but what I can carry and a spirit of adventure, or transforming my home through ambitious DIY renovations. I thrive on solving tough challenges and putting my resourcefulness to use—whether in the world of data science or life itself.Let’s connect to explore bold ideas and build the future together!
