Experience

Southampton FC - Sports Data Analyst Intern

I developed a Bayesian-enhanced Post-Shot Expected Goals (PSxG) model that improved scouting accuracy and supported player evaluations. The model was particularly effective in identifying hidden gems - young strikers with limited shot samples, by incorporating near misses and shot velocity into the analysis.

I conducted a detailed scouting report on Munashe Garan'anga, analyzing his defensive metrics, ball progression, and tactical fit for European Leagues. My work included benchmarking his performances against top defenders in the Belgian Pro League and delivering recommendations for potential team placements.

CPO Outlets - Data Analyst

I streamlined monthly sales reporting using Python, SQL and developed Tableau dashboards to visualize sales trends and customer behavior. My efforts enhanced forecasting accuracy and supported inventory optimization, showcasing my ability to apply analytics in diverse industries.
