A reproducible ML pipeline for predicting NBA player performance.

Built an end-to-end Python data pipeline to ingest, validate, store, model, and evaluate NBA player-game data. The project uses leakage-safe rolling features, expanding-window cross-validation, serialized model artifacts, and automated tests in CI.

What I work with.

Python is where I’m strongest, particularly in data pipelines, modeling, and testing. League Match Analysis brings together Java, Spring Boot, Next.js, and PostgreSQL. This site uses Astro, Tailwind, and custom SVG data visualizations.

I like software that proves it works.

I have a hard time leaving questions alone, and I tend to stay on something well past the point where it technically works.

Outside of software, I follow the NBA, play a lot of competitive strategy games, and lose evenings to figuring out why systems behave the way they do — like why a twin-scroll turbocharger spools differently from its single-scroll counterpart.

Get in touch

Let’s build something.

I’m currently pursuing software engineering, software testing/QA, and AI/ML-related internship opportunities. Based in Orlando, Florida — open to relocation.
