Josh Clemm
See this page from 1996!Hey there! I’m Josh, a software engineer born and raised in the Bay Area. I’m currently VP of Engineering at Figma.
Previously, I led engineering for Uber Eats and Dropbox’s AI platform and helped build teams at LinkedIn. I started out in sensor fusion and autonomous navigation.
I advise AI startups and still love to code. My fav projects are Draft Punk (fantasy football), Earthquake Alert! (earthquake tracking), Super Truck Rally (arcade racing), and Yaddle (AI search).
On this site, I write about AI, scaling software, leading engineering teams, and share fun side projects.
