Top School

Matthew Baumann is a data analyst and software engineer with a decade of hands-on experience designing and maintaining databases across museums, libraries, academia, government, and clinical research settings. After a long career in cultural heritage and field archaeology, he completed BS/MS studies in software engineering and now builds full-stack data solutions—primarily with Django/Python, Ruby on Rails, and PostgreSQL—for biomedical and library systems. He blends deep domain knowledge in data curation with practical ETL, JSON ingest, and legacy system integration, supporting researchers and clients with both development and user-facing training. His academic background spans a PhD in History of Art, advanced degrees in bioethics and software engineering, and fieldwork that informed the creation of an iPad-based recording app for archaeological excavation. Comfortable translating messy, real-world data into structured, queryable systems, he brings an unusual combination of technical rigor and humanities-trained interpretive skill to data problems.
