I am an experienced Data Science and Football Analytics professional with 5+ years of professional data science experience, currently working in my second season in elite sport. Previously I was the First Team Lead Data Scientist at Leicester City Football Club, and Data Scientist for Analytics FC and the LEGO Group.

I enjoy exploring and working in the fields of data science, machine learning, statistics, data engineering, data visualisation, and football analytics, for which this GitHub profile includes much of my publicly available work around these topics.

Please see my football_analytics repository for a collection of football analytics projects, data, and analysis that I have created, with links to publicly available resources in the football analytics community.

2. Data Parsing
3. Data Engineering
4. Data Unification
5. Data Analysis
