Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSamuel Schiavone is a research-trained mathematician and programmer with nine years of experience translating deep arithmetic geometry into production-ready computational tools. As an MIT research scientist and long-time contributor to the widely used LMFDB, he builds algorithms, backend scripts, and database integrations (notably MongoDB-driven Hecke eigenvalue routines) to make abstract number-theoretic objects concrete and searchable. Now transitioning to industry, he consults on research-level mathematical challenges for AI, designing evaluation frameworks that stitch computer algebra systems to model APIs. Comfortable across proofs, algorithm design, and Python-backed implementation, he brings an uncommon blend of rigorous theory and practical engineering to data science and software development roles. Based in Cambridge, MA, he pairs PhD-level mathematical insight with hands-on open-source impact.

Back-end Developer & Database Engineer
Back-end Developer & Database EngineerContributions:2 reviews, 332 commits, 45 PRs in 4 years 9 months
Contributions summary:Samuel primarily focused on adding scripts related to expressing Hecke eigenvalues in terms of an integral basis. They developed scripts to convert and express Hecke eigenvalues. Their work involved interacting with a MongoDB database and retrieving number field information to perform the necessary calculations. The user's contributions directly involved modifying and creating Python scripts for number theory calculations and database interactions.
