Mansit Suman_
Doing context & data quality engineering before it was cool.
Engagement Manager · Data & AI Consultant based in New York since June 2025. Six years at MathCo designing canonical data models and self-service foundations across Fortune 10 and Fortune 100 clients — in commercial, supply chain, and People & Operations. Currently architecting an agentic ETL system that automates engineering work end-to-end.
Selected projects, filter to taste.
How I work.
Ship before certain.
Bias for action over architectural perfectionism. Pulled the Context Store POC back from a six-month sprawl into something fundable in a quarter. The metric is shipped, not designed.
Full-stack on purpose.
Stakeholder discovery → schemas → pipelines → dashboards → adoption. Not because the title says so — because each layer informs the next. The dashboard fights you when the model is wrong.
Honest data over clever data.
Helpful, honest, harmless AI starts with helpful, honest, harmless data. The only thing worse than no metric is a metric you can't trust. Built a GenAI-powered DQ accelerator on that premise.
Translate, don't transcribe.
"We need a dashboard" means something different to the VP than to the PM. Six years of consulting was a masterclass in figuring out which one matters — and saying so out loud.
Tools I reach for without thinking.

Agentic systems are stochastic, not deterministic — so even a 0.1% gain in accuracy matters. Enriching context the right way isn't optional; it's essential. — Architecting Contextual Layers for GenAI · DES'25Watch
Client notes, verbatim.
"Mansit brings a rare blend of technical depth and business insight. Clarity in communication, proactiveness, genuine commitment — the kind of high-performance collaboration every individual should strive for."
"They understand things faster than most other contractors I've worked with. Open to feedback, always positive and helpful. Mansit's drive for excellence continues to raise the bar."
Books I keep close, and what I tinker with.
