Summary
Joshua Vaughen is a seasoned machine learning and data science leader with 11 years of engineering experience and a 7+ year track record of shipping production ML systems at scale, notably across Adobe’s Document Cloud and 3D & Immersive teams. He designed and deployed latent-variable onboarding models, churn prediction with XGBoost, large-scale Apriori improvements, and a containerized data-engineering platform that personalized millions of in-product and email experiences. A pragmatic technical manager, he’s hired and mentored junior engineers while standardizing shared Python libraries, data models, and KPI frameworks adopted organization-wide. After a life-changing medical event he spent a sabbatical traveling to nearly 60 countries, gaining conversational fluency in two languages—an experience that sharpened his adaptability, cross-cultural communication, and rapid problem-solving under uncertainty.
