I am Majid Benam, a full-stack web developer and database administrator based in Vienna, Austria. At Complexity Science Hub, I led the end-to-end development of Seshat: Global History Databank, deployed a Django-PostgreSQL schema on AWS, supported data science for multiple publications, and built tools to streamline data cleaning and data collection. I also integrated a repository of 15,000+ scientific references into Seshat and collaborated with cross-cultural teams from Austria, the USA, Canada, England, Japan, and beyond. In my spare time, I enjoy building personal projects like a Next.js app with a Supabase backend, a Java tool to optimize tram commutes, and a Python-based scraper to generate Anki flashcards. I value continuous learning, mentorship, and translating complex research needs into practical software solutions.
