About
I come at sport from three sides: as an analyst, as an operator who has built and run a business, and as a competitor.
I'm interested in how teams are built and run, in any sport: how players are valued, how rosters come together and how a staff prepares for the next opponent. My work so far is in hockey; my playing background is in baseball, football and wrestling; my studies are in finance and information systems.

Projects
Work done for a team uses licensed data and is internal to that team, so it is described here without results.
Opponent-adjusted team ratings and pre-scout reports
Rates every team in a league on offense and defense after adjusting for the opponents it has faced, then produces a one-page report for each upcoming opponent: projected matchup, strengths, weak spots and a side-by-side profile.
Which metrics can a staff trust?
A study of roughly 250 performance metrics that separates repeatable team traits from game-to-game noise, then checks which traits carry over to results in games they never saw.
What goes with winning: a game-level model
An elastic-net model across every league game that identifies which parts of play go with winning and which lead to a positive expected-goal differential, re-fitted repeatedly so only durable signals are reported.
NBA shot make probability model
A model that estimates the probability an NBA shot is made, using engineered features such as shot distance, shot-clock pressure, catch-and-shoot attempts and defender proximity.
