A live analytics platform that grades every NFL player on a 0–100 scale across 12 positions, using statistical models tuned per position. 10 seasons of play-by-play and tracking data flow through a Python pipeline into Postgres; the web app surfaces per-season grades, career trends with uncertainty, and full depth charts for all 32 teams.

Venue Insights

Every venue exports its point-of-sale data differently and messily; this turns any of it into the same clean, documented, operator-grade analytics. It infers the schema from arbitrary headers, runs a transparent cleaning pipeline with a 0–100 Data Health Score, then produces ~13 analysis modules — category performance, Pareto tail-SKUs, menu engineering, market-basket lift, staffing curves, price elasticity — plus a plain-English executive summary and an exportable methodology report.

Why Height Doesn't Predict Velocity in Major League Baseball

Physics says taller pitchers should throw harder. The data says they don't. The story is selection bias: by the time you reach MLB, the relationship that dominates youth ball has been compressed away by survival.
