Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMatthew Butler is a research manager and senior full-stack developer specializing in digital humanities, with 14 years in his current studio role and over 25 years of library and media experience. He builds web applications, text-extraction and transcription tools, and data visualizations that help scholars and cultural institutions publish and analyze archival materials. An MFA-trained intermedia artist and former Bodine Fellow, he blends creative practice with rigorous archival standards and teaches programming, text mining, and digital media at the university level. His research intersects machine learning, NLP, and writing systems—work that surfaces in projects like the International Dada Archive and Fluxus Digital Archives. Colleagues rely on him for translating scholarly needs into reproducible software and workflows, and he still maintains an artist’s studio practice focused on information-systems approaches to conceptual writing. A quirky credential: he holds a certificate in tarot reading, reflecting a long-standing interest in interpretive systems beyond conventional tech domains.
