Hi, I'm Sue Ye

(Shuqin Ye) — Data Scientist, AI Consultant & Builder of LLM-Driven Products

I build AI-powered products and help businesses embed AI—transforming products and services into smarter, faster, and more scalable solutions.

My Journey

Over the past 11+ years, I've helped companies across travel, fashion, e-commerce, and tech solve high-impact problems using machine learning and AI. I've built:

Enhanced Stitch Fix's personalization model

with features that generated $12M+ in annual revenue, and solo-built a personalized trend detection model that won the company's innovation award

A homepage recommender at Vrbo

that lifted click-through rates by 43%

An NLP-based content matcher at Apple

that helped millions of users get the right support faster

What I Do Now

Today, I specialize in building intelligent AI systems that work with real data, take actions, and adapt to user needs—going far beyond simple chatbots.

I help startups and teams bring advanced AI to life through:

Smart AI systems with real knowledge

Building RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) pipelines that connect AI to your actual data and documents for accurate, up-to-date responses

Agentic systems that take action

AI agents that can browse the web, use tools, call APIs, and make decisions autonomously—like having a smart assistant that actually gets things done

Conversational AI that understands context

Custom chatbots and virtual assistants that remember conversations, understand your business, and integrate seamlessly with your existing workflows

End-to-end AI product development

From initial strategy and architecture planning to full implementation—turning your AI ideas into working products that deliver real business value

Right now, I'm:

  • Consulting for CakeClub, building LLM-based chatbots and financial insights from user transaction data
  • The creator of TripAIbuddy.app, an AI travel assistant that plans and re-routes trips in real time using agentic systems and feedback loops
  • Prototyping new tools at the intersection of LLMs, user context, and decision support

Why I Build

I believe AI should make people's lives measurably better—simpler decisions, smarter tools, more intuitive experiences.

Whether it's recommending the perfect vacation rental or helping someone plan a trip on the fly, I find joy in delivering solutions people can feel.

I'm hands-on across the full AI lifecycle—from LLM fine-tuning and evaluation to building feedback loops and API integration—and I thrive at the intersection of product, ML, and UX.
