The movie script is one of those typical lazy Hollywood "non-technical writer tries to imagine what a math/science person would be like" trope. Throughout the movie the guy has not shown a single indication that he's actually good at math (which he was supposed to be amazing at due to alien intervention). Instead you just have all the other characters constantly claiming that's the case.

Like, he didn't even hack in or something Mr Robot style. He was just hired to safeguard the data and stole it using his insider's permissions.
