Senior🎓
Top SchoolJoshua Mailman is a Staff Machine Learning Engineer and Data Scientist blending eight years of industry experience with a deep academic background (PhD in Music Theory) to solve practical ML and generative-AI problems. He currently researches and productionizes LLM alignment techniques (SFT, RLHF) while consulting on RAG-based chatbots and prompt strategy for editorial workflows. Joshua pairs strong Python and deep-learning chops (TensorFlow/PyTorch, JAX) with extensive feature-engineering, NLP, and data engineering experience across enterprise and prototyping contexts. His work is informed by a rare history of engineering interactive audio-visual systems and publishing peer-reviewed research, which gives him an unusual edge in multimodal modeling and creative problem framing. Comfortable bridging research, product, and non-technical stakeholders, he routinely translates experimental ideas into deployable prototypes and evaluation regimes. Based in New York, he brings both scholarly rigor and performance-minded inventiveness to commercial ML challenges.
