Sports Analytics & Data Science — Turning data into decisions

About me

I'm a Sports Analytics major at UNC Charlotte (4.0 GPA, Chancellor's List), building on a prior B.S. in Business Administration and 10+ years running operations across fleet management, e-commerce, events, and residential services. I turn data into decisions — and build the tools that act on it, from predictive models to deployed apps — with a working commitment to handling data ethically.

Featured Projects

Self-developed, deployed builds.

Teamora — Student Team-Formation Web App preview
Featured · Live App
Teamora — Student Team-Formation Web App
Python · Streamlit · scikit-learn · scipy

A live web app that helps instructors form balanced student teams from a quick survey. It grew out of my Birds of a Feather research — four matching models (Hungarian assignment as the optimized default), a six-metric team-quality score, and a privacy-first design that processes data in memory only.

Credit-Risk Default Prediction — Loan-Default Model & Dashboard preview
Featured · Live Dashboard
Credit-Risk Default Prediction — Loan-Default Model & Dashboard
SQL · Python · scikit-learn · Tableau

A normalized SQL database of 1.35M consumer loans, with scikit-learn models that flag loan default at 0.716 ROC-AUC and an interactive Tableau dashboard of the risk segments — including a borrower-only model that edges out the lender's own credit grades.

Case Studies

Analytical studies with full writeups.

ML · Python · scikit-learn

The published research behind Teamora: an ML pipeline that forms fairer student project teams with clustering and Hungarian assignment, audited for the bias hidden in self-reported skills and GPA.

Predicting the Madness
NCAA Basketball · Python · scikit-learn

A machine-learning approach to the NCAA tournament: feature engineering on regular-season team stats, model comparison, and evaluation on real bracket outcomes.
