Welcome friends

I’m Nick, a writer and data storyteller based in San Diego. Unlikely Shortcuts is a space for my tech, business, and personal growth ideas.

I use claude extensively for data work and brainstorming, but my Substack writing is hand-crafted. I’m open to collabs and new projects! Reach out to me for a zoom or coffee chat at nick.culver@gmail.com

I previously held a variety of strategy and data roles at Spotify. Before that, I worked in solar PV, most notably as lead solar analyst at Bloomberg New Energy Finance.
