Top SchoolJoshua X is a founder-engineer and CEO with nine years of experience building high-scale products at the intersection of computer vision and advertising technology.

He holds a Master’s in Computer Science from Carnegie Mellon and a BS in Electrical Engineering from Tongji, blending rigorous academic training with product-driven ML research. Joshua is hands-on with deep learning infrastructure and model work, and his current venture aims to make content creation effectively cost-free by replacing cameras with generative systems.

Based in Los Angeles, he combines technical depth with operator experience in fast-moving AI productization.
