Joshua Mills is an Applied Scientist II at Amazon with eight years of experience applying machine learning and NLU to production voice assistant systems on the Alexa team. He combines academic rigor from a PhD in particle physics with practical ML engineering, having developed deep-learning reconstruction methods for the MicroBooNE liquid-argon neutrino detector before moving to Alexa to ship model updates and new features. His day-to-day blends large-scale data analysis, defect/drift investigations, and production code to ensure robust model performance for customers. Comfortable moving between research deep-dives and product timelines, he brings a rare mix of domain expertise in experimental physics and hands-on ML systems engineering based in Greater Boston.
