Projects

Jul 2026 Open-Source Repository Health Analytics Python · MongoDB · pandas · SciPy · Matplotlib
  • Assessed the health and sustainability of the pandas and scikit-learn repositories with the CHAOSS framework, framed as an investment recommendation for an external stakeholder.
  • Designed a MongoDB ingestion pipeline for GitHub pull request, commit, issue and contributor data, with field whitelisting and bot filtering.
  • Operationalised a composite PR complexity score from label taxonomy, comment and review counts; tested contributor tenure effects with Spearman correlation and Kruskal–Wallis.
Jun 2026 Tennis Match Prediction & Betting Bot Python · XGBoost · scikit-learn · pandas · NumPy · Streamlit
  • Custom Elo rating system with differential features from rankings, head-to-head records and surface/tournament context.
  • ATP outcome model at 68% accuracy on held-out data, using strict temporal train/test splits to prevent leakage across seasons.
  • Compared model probabilities against Polymarket odds to surface positive-EV divergences for manual review rather than automated execution.
  • Broke profitability down by confidence and risk band, which showed the accuracy came almost entirely from matchups the market had already priced correctly.
Spring 2024 Football Player Analytics Web App Python · Streamlit · pandas · NumPy · BeautifulSoup
  • Interactive app for exploring player performance across Europe's top five leagues, with radar charts and side-by-side comparisons.
  • Scraped, cleaned and aggregated player statistics; prototyped in Jupyter before integrating into the deployed interface.
