Project Overview

In my summer internship at YouTube Music, I contributed to an exciting initiative aimed at transforming the music discovery experience. My involvement centered on developing a novel feature that enhances how users interact with and discover music, developing a unique, interactive feature that leveraged advanced technology to offer personalized and context-aware music suggestions. The project involved close collaboration with a multidisciplinary team, focusing on integrating this feature seamlessly into the existing platform while ensuring a user-friendly and accessible interface. This experience was a deep dive into the challenges of designing for a global audience, where every decision impacted the user experience. It was a unique blend of creativity, technical skill, and empathy for user needs
