I am a fantasy basketball junkie, both season-long and daily. Fan-wise, I am a fan of the San Antonio Spurs. Dabble in other fantasy sports such as football and baseball. Naturally, I enjoy sportsbetting and casino games as well.
For sports I play, I enjoy any type of team sport (frisbee, basketball, soccer). I also swam and rowed once upon a time. Have ran three half-marathons and continue to regularly run (but not actively racing at the moment).
I love discussing sports analytics and prediction models for sports. I've worked on a model for predicting player performance and a separate project on lineup optimization. Part of my prediction work was done in my deep learning class, in which I used RNN methods to tackle this problem. You can check that final report out here.
Things I'm interested in and am trying to learn more about: recommendation engines, game theory, computer vision, reinforcement learning, stock investing, political systems, behavioral economics, poker strategy, and cocktail mixing.
