Hi there, thanks for visiting!
I’m a technical program manager with a proven track record of leading cross-functional teams to deliver large-scale enterprise software solutions. Currently, I’m building AI and quantum technology to solve commercial and NatSec challenges at SandboxAQ, a deep tech start-up spun out of Google X.
Some problem spaces I’m tackling include:
Alt-PNT technology for navigation in GPS-denied environments
Battery life cycle prediction for large-scale industrial use cases
Optimization and forecasting for advanced manufacturing supply chain logistics
Previously, I was a TPM at Google, where I led teams to build AI and security solutions for the US Air Force and Navy as part of the DoD/National Security team. I also worked as a privacy engineer on the emerging tech division at Google X, and participated in adversarial testing/ Red-teaming efforts for Gemini, PaLM, Bard as a GenAI Ambassador.
I hold dual-degrees from Cornell University in Computer Systems Engineering (B.S.) and Government (B.A.) with a concentration in public policy. My masters is in National Security Studies from Georgetown University’s School of Foreign Service.
At Cornell, I managed the business and operations team of Engineers in Action. We’re committed to building sustainable infrastructure in the most remote and isolated communities to help bring economic and educational opportunities to the community members.
I’m also the founder of State of the Pod, a student-driven podcast production actively trying to combat science misinformation by podcasting about latest developments in science and tech from an ethical perspective.
I’m passionate about data privacy rights and believe technology can be a great equalizer when implemented correctly. If you would like to chat about my work or on-going projects, feel free to email me at stateoftheyunyun@gmail.com!
