Nicole White grew up in Kansas City, Missouri and then spent four years at LSU in Baton Rouge, Louisiana where she got a degree in economics with a minor in mathematics. She then went to the University of Texas at Austin where she got her masters degree in analytics, and it was during this time that she found Neo4j and began playing around with it. When she’s not graphing all the things, she spends her time playing card games and board games.

I spend a lot of my free time answering Stack Overflow questions about Cypher, Neo4j’s graph query language. Cypher is an intuitive, ASCII-art-driven language that allows you to query your property graph by specifying patterns of nodes and relationships. While Cypher is the reason many... read more
Editor’s Note: Last October at GraphConnect San Francisco, Nicole White – Data Scientist at Neo Technology – delivered this presentation on how to write Cypher queries for your most common connected-data questions. For more videos from GraphConnect SF and to register for GraphConnect... read more
For a while I've been working on cycli, a command-line interface (CLI) for Neo4j's Cypher query language. As demonstrated below, it autocompletes on your node labels, relationship types, property keys and Cypher keywords. The autocompletion of the lattermost in this list – Cypher keywords... read more
It’s a sad but true fact: Most data scientists spend 50-80% of their time cleaning and munging data and only a fraction of their time actually building predictive models. This is most often true in a traditional stack, where most of this data munging consists of writing lines upon lines of... read more
Flask, a popular Python web framework, has many tutorials available online which use an SQL database to store information about the website’s users and their activities. While SQL is a great tool for storing information such as usernames and passwords, it is not so great at allowing you to... read more
