Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolVasco Schiavo is a mathematician-turned-software engineer with three years of industry experience building and deploying ML systems, currently a Member of the Technical Staff in Bern. He has worked on production-grade forecasting and pricing models at KAYAK Labs and shorter-cycle AI/ML projects at LogicStar, blending rigorous math with pragmatic engineering. His background includes a PhD in Mathematics from EPFL and hands-on cryptanalysis research for the Swiss Armed Forces, giving him unusual depth in probabilistic reasoning and security-aware design. As an active contributor to the fast Rust-based Python linter Ruff, he focuses on back-end code quality and static analysis precision—an indicator of his eye for robust tooling and clean code. Energetic about learning, he combines teaching experience with collaborative R&D practice to quickly bridge theory and product impact. Colleagues describe him as a detail-oriented problem solver who seeks challenging, analytically demanding projects rather than routine data tasks.
