Summary
Jonathan Davies is a Data Scientist with 13 years of experience building end-to-end machine learning systems, specialising in search and recommendations for eCommerce. He has led production ML efforts at Coveo and Qubit, delivering learning-to-rank models, product recommenders, and rigorous online experimentation that serve hundreds of thousands of requests per day. Prior roles at The Economist honed his expertise in experimentation, stakeholder communication and team leadership, while a PhD and postdoc in particle physics underpin strong foundations in statistics, large-scale data analysis and scientific computing. Equally comfortable in Python, SQL/BigQuery and production ML pipelines, he blends research rigor with product-minded delivery. An interesting non-obvious detail: he took a deliberate career break to be present for his twin daughters’ first year, returning with refreshed focus on impactful ML product work. Based in London, he is open to senior applied ML roles where measurement and measurable business value drive model design.
