Top SchoolEric Chen is a software engineer with a decade of experience blending computer science and linguistics, currently building at Google in the San Francisco Bay Area. He specializes in projects at the intersection of speech, phonetics, and interactive systems—examples include a browser game that visualizes tongue, jaw, and lip animation to guess spoken words and a keyboard-playable Karplus-Strong synthesizer. His research background includes acoustic analysis and formant plotting using Python/Matplotlib and hands-on fieldwork annotating Amahuaca language recordings. As a data science intern he applied NLP techniques like sentiment analysis and NER to scale internal text workflows, demonstrating both experimental and production-oriented skillsets. Colleagues describe him as an engineer who combines rigorous quantitative methods with playful, creative tools for exploring sound and language.
