hi, i'm josh!
i build creative tools by developing the right 🔍 lens on user need. as a machine learning engineer at Spotify, i've built models that:
- understand natural language queries that ask for music,
- understand podcast content to deliver better homepage recommendations,
- and power Enhance and Smart Shuffle with recommendations that fit the vibe of your own playlists.
I'm also curious how stories, music, and photography reflect our 🔍 lens on the world.
