Senior🎓
Top SchoolDavid Maxwell is an analytics engineer and IR researcher with a PhD and 12 years of experience building search systems, data pipelines, and user-facing experimental interfaces. He blends production-grade Spark/PySpark engineering at Booking.com with rigorous user research from a TU Delft postdoc, where he created LogUI (Best Demo, ECIR 2021) and led large-scale crowdsourced studies. His work spans classical IR evaluation, behavioural modelling, and modern data engineering—highlighted by a Microsoft prototype and US patent for generative query autocompletion. An experienced educator and open-source contributor, he co-authored Tango with Django (accessed by millions) and continues to rearchitect research tooling while shipping well-tested, observable pipelines. David is particularly adept at turning experimental questions into reliable, decision-ready datasets and reproducible systems.
