Rising Junior at Newark Academy. Building Real Things.

I am a rising junior at Newark Academy, and I am very passionate about sports — I follow a wide variety of teams, athletes, and competitions. One of my biggest interests is sports analytics: using statistics and data to better understand player performance, team strategy, and the factors that actually contribute to winning.

I enjoy looking beyond the final score to analyze trends, metrics, and decision-making in sports. That work has sharpened my critical thinking more than any class has — when a dataset is wrong, nobody tells you; you find out because a chart looks strange and you have to go figure out why. Every project on this site is something I built, and the data pipeline behind each one is documented and reproducible.
