Saturday Keynote: Sandra Chung
Six years ago, Sandra Chung deferred enrollment in a data science bootcamp to “sure, what the hell” try on a six-month temporary gig at a political nonprofit as a software engineer. Earlier this year she left her role as CTO of MoveOn, the oldest and largest digital-first progressive political organization in the U.S., and her membership in the national org CTOs for Good. Among other things she’s co-founded and contributed to multiple open-source projects including the political game-changing peer-to-peer SMS platform Spoke, learned React in a hurry to help finish a game from an award-winning game designer, taught SQL to grassroots organizers, leveled up data and analytics engineering operations at multiple nonprofits, and misdirected 10s of 1000s of pieces of merchandise with a single bad SQL join.
Sandra specializes in building and cultivating teams where everyone can thrive, and in taking research projects all the way from curiosity or pain points to game-changing analytic insights. She’s a former research scientist, teacher and journalist masquerading as a software engineer because frankly that is where a lot more of the money and power to have an impact are at.
Sandra is currently an engineering manager at a startup, AskTia.com, where she’s helping to build and scale integrated IRL and URL healthcare for women and applying her lived experience as a queer woman of color, pandemic parent to two young biracial children, and daughter of immigrants.
