Football Data Analyst
I analyse how players and teams create, concede, and transition value — combining tracking and event data to produce insights across off-ball movement, defensive transitions, opposition analysis, and player profiling.

Work
01 — Flagship
Using SkillCorner open tracking data (A-League) to quantify how off-ball runs contribute to attacking value. Cross-receiver runs generate ~5× more xThreat than support runs. Transitions significantly amplify run value. Movement consistently progresses play into central high-value zones.
View project02 — MSc Thesis
MSc thesis project redefining player roles using PCA and K-Means clustering across La Liga, Ligue 1, and Serie A. Delivered as a live interactive Streamlit dashboard with radar charts, player comparison tools, and tactical role filters — built for scouting workflows.
View project03 — Pipeline
Linking defensive actions to attacking outcomes by tracking what happens in the seconds immediately after a team wins the ball back. Analyses how teams convert defensive moments into structured attacks — bridging defensive and offensive phases of play.

An interactive Streamlit application built from my MSc thesis. Explore player roles and performance metrics across Europe's top leagues — designed to support scouting workflows and tactical decision-making.
About
I'm an early-career football data analyst with a hybrid background combining tactical football analysis, data analytics, and sports therapy and healthcare.
My work sits at the intersection of tactical insight and data-driven analysis, with a particular focus on off-ball movement, transitions, and spatial behaviour — areas where tracking data is reshaping how we understand the game.
Before moving fully into data, I worked as a Diabetes Specialist Nurse with the NHS — an environment that built strong pattern recognition, structured decision-making, and the ability to communicate complex findings to non-technical stakeholders. That background translates directly into how I approach football data.
I hold an MSc in Football Data Analytics and have worked in real football environments across scouting, opposition analysis, and club governance — including time with Portland Thorns (NWSL), US Mondorf, and Athenians FC.

Experience
Applied Opposition Analysis — NWSL Context
Applied opposition analysis project developed through Sports Data Campus, structured around a Portland Thorns (NWSL) scenario. Used IMPECT-style event data to identify patterns around regains, box entries, and transitions — delivered as a coach-facing report within a professional analysis framework.
Video Scout
Match analysis, player evaluation reports, and tactical observation in a real football environment. Developed the ability to communicate data insights clearly in football language.
Multi-role Club Involvement
Involved at Athenians FC across four dimensions — as a board member contributing to club-level decisions, as a tactical and video analyst producing match and opponent analysis, and as a player with first-hand understanding of game structures from within the environment.
Diabetes Specialist Nurse
Decision-making under pressure, pattern recognition from complex data, and structured communication with non-technical stakeholders. A background that directly informs how I approach analytical problems in football — particularly in physical performance and load management contexts.
