About Tony Sun

Technical Program Manager and Data Scientist with a strong foundation in quantitative economics and data science, delivering scalable, data-driven solutions across infrastructure, AI research, and compliance-heavy environments. Currently at Meta (via Deloitte), I lead GenAI infrastructure programs supporting LLaMA teams, driving 33% faster project turnarounds and reducing GPU idle time by 25%. Previously at TikTok, I engineered robust data pipelines and monitoring systems that improved SLA performance by 25% and cut incident response times by two-thirds.I bring a hybrid background of product strategy, technical execution, and stakeholder management — translating complex research and infrastructure needs into actionable roadmaps, scalable systems, and executive insights. My experience spans cloud infrastructure, A/B testing, anomaly detection, compliance monitoring, and ad revenue analytics for brands like Disney and Discovery.Passionate about bridging technical depth with cross-functional clarity, I thrive in high-stakes, ambiguous environments where operational excellence and innovation intersect.
