Senior🎓
Top SchoolChris Culy is a freelance consultant in data analysis and information visualization with 14 years of experience translating messy text into structured insights using NLP, databases, and bespoke visualizations. He combines deep academic training (PhD, Stanford) and senior research leadership—roles at SRI, FX Palo Alto Labs, EURAC, and a visiting professorship in computational linguistics—to bridge linguistics, computer science, and social science. Chris builds full-stack tools (MySQL, Python, JavaScript) and novel interactive visualizations for linguistic and historical datasets, and has applied word-embedding research and corpus NLP to real-world projects and publications. He also contributes to open-source C++ engine development, improving physics and scene encoding, showing hands-on systems and back-end engineering skills beyond the data stack. Known for pragmatic collaboration, he often acts as the connector between domain experts and engineers to turn scholarly questions into usable software and visual narratives.
