About Me
I'm originally from Chile, and in 2021 I made the move to Canada. This transition gave me the opportunity to reinvent myself and dedicate my career to what I'm truly passionate about: soccer.
While I had experience as a Data Analyst in corporate environments, I decided to combine that expertise with the game I love to create something meaningful.
Since then, I've been on a continuous journey of learning and skill-building:
- Certifications & Education: I've earned certifications in Big Data for scouting and in Business Intelligence to make data-driven decisions that enhance team performance and player evaluation.
- Technical Development: I build comprehensive tools using Streamlit, Node.js, and D3.js that transform Wyscout, Opta, and StatsBomb data into clear, actionable tactical visualizations for coaches and analysts.
- Professional Experience: I worked for Cavalry FC and Deportivo Cuenca, producing detailed scouting reports by round, at mid-season, and at season's end using the analytics tools and dashboards I created.
I'm always exploring new analytical methods and cutting-edge technologies to enhance soccer decision-making processes. My goal is to bridge the gap between raw data and tactical insights, helping teams make informed decisions that lead to success on the pitch.
Forever chasing that perfect play!
