Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolAlbin Correya is a CTO and ML engineer with 10 years of experience turning audio and music research into production-ready AI systems, currently leading technology at nowon AG from Copenhagen. He combines deep expertise in music information retrieval, audio DSP and ML—contributed core algorithms and fixes to the well-known Essentia audio library—and has built contextual music recommendation and cover-song identification systems in both research and industry settings. His background spans hands-on C++/Python engineering, WebAssembly-based audio tooling, and large-scale ML at companies like Wolt, Deezer and Moodagent, giving him a rare ability to bridge research-grade models to scalable products. Colleagues rely on him for pragmatic architectures that respect signal-processing realities, and he often surfaces subtle algorithmic fixes (e.g., similarity computation stability) that improve production reliability.
