Sujan Kakumanu

Hello! My name is Sujan. I’m a civic technologist passionate about urban systems, spatial data, and software in service of communities.

More About Me.

I’m a Senior Software Engineer at the City of Philadelphia’s Office of Innovation & Technology, where I work on software that directly serves Philadelphia residents.

My path here started with a computer science degree and nearly four years as a full-stack software engineer at JPMorgan Chase, but I’ve always been drawn to cities: how people move through them, who they serve, and who they leave out. That pull led me to pursue a Master of Urban Spatial Analytics at UPenn, where I deepened my skills in spatial data science, data engineering, and urban research applied to housing, transportation, and land use.

I don't believe technology should be built in a vacuum. Being a good engineer or technologist means knowing how to work with stakeholders and communities, especially when it comes to the urban systems that shape daily life. That mindset, blending technical work with planning and public impact, is what's driving the next chapter of my career.
