About Me

I'm a Master of Science in Business Analytics (MSBA) student at UCLA Anderson, passionate about blending data, product thinking, and storytelling to drive impact. I specialize in using analytics and machine learning to solve real-world business problems — from predicting player movements in the NFL Big Data Bowl to optimizing SQL schemas for scalable data systems.

Before UCLA, I worked on projects that spanned business intelligence, product strategy, and data visualization — building tools that turned complex data into actionable insights. My work bridges the gap between data science and product management: identifying the “why” behind data, designing solutions that scale, and communicating results clearly across teams.

Outside of academics, I’m a competitive volleyball player and a firm believer that teamwork in sports mirrors collaboration in analytics — precision, timing, and trust all matter. I’m currently exploring opportunities where I can apply data-driven decision-making to product development, strategy, or analytics innovation.

NFL Big Data Bowl 2026 – Prediction Track

Los Angeles, CA

Kaggle Competition | Sports Analytics & Predictive Modeling

2025
650K+ data points
1791 players tracked per frame
Deep Learning (PyTorch)

The NFL Big Data Bowl 2026 invited data scientists to predict football play outcomes before they occur using Next Gen Stats player-tracking data. The challenge required transforming high-frequency spatiotemporal coordinates into meaningful predictive features — from velocity and acceleration to team formation patterns.

Data Engineering

Preprocessed 650K+ tracking records; calculated relative velocity vectors, angular momentum, and inter-player distances to encode player interactions per frame.

Modeling Approach

Implemented deep neural networks in PyTorch with GroupKFold cross-validation to prevent data leakage across plays and games; compared with gradient boosting baselines.

Evaluation & Insights

Optimized for Kaggle’s custom metric using GPU-accelerated training; visualized predicted trajectories and field-heatmaps to interpret play outcomes and decision boundaries.
