Senior🎓
Top SchoolDavid Currie is a Senior Search Engineer with nine years of experience applying machine learning, information retrieval, and statistical methods to real-world products across biotech, insurance, and fintech. He blends a formal MS in Bioinformatics and Theoretical Systems Biology from Imperial College with hands-on expertise in Python, R, Elasticsearch, spaCy, TensorFlow, and React to build performant data pipelines, search systems, and ML models. His work has ranged from patent-backed address-parsing and high-accuracy address verification at Lob to detecting rare DNA methylation patterns at biomodal and shipping production search features at Fullscript. A practical builder and founder, he publishes technical write-ups and creates lightweight web tools (e.g., practicealanguage.xyz, cookingwithingles.com) that demonstrate how generative models and APIs can streamline user workflows. Colleagues value his ability to reduce model-development time through better data infrastructure and to translate complex research into deployable, measurable outcomes.
