PROFILE

Nicholas Smith

Over three months, contributed to scientific Python projects by delivering targeted features across packaging, data structures, and documentation. For conda-forge-pinning-feedstock, improved macOS arm64 dependency management by integrating cms-combine into the package list, ensuring correct platform recognition. In scikit-hep/vector, implemented PyTree support using Python and the optree library, enabling vector objects to be flattened and reconstructed for downstream algorithms, with expanded tests and documentation. For scipy/scipy, authored new documentation and tutorials on the Landau distribution, including a particle-physics example to clarify conventions. Work emphasized maintainability, onboarding, and stability, with a focus on Python, documentation, and scientific computing.
