👋 Hi, I'm Tony. I'm a data person who writes R and python code as a hobby. My specialty is applications of statistics in sports, mostly soccer.

I've (intentionally) been fairly inactive in open-source contributions since early 2024--I hope that doesn't sway you from reaching out if you have any questions about my work or want to connect.

Projects

• Sports analytics visualization gallery: A collection of visualizations (mostly soccer) that I've tweeted out.
• "Bundesliga tax" analysis cited in The Athletic, Tifo Football, ESPN, Grace Robertson, and more.
• 2021 Big Data Bowl (Big Data Bowl) team submission (finalist) | "Weighted Assessment of Defender Affectiveness (WADE)": A framework for quantifying NFL defensive back coverage and contest skills.
• 2022 Carnegie Melon Sports Analytics Conference (CMSAC) paper: "The Hot Hand Fallacy in Call of Duty Search and Destroy"

Packages

• I co-maintain {worldfootballR}, an R package for extracting world football (soccer) data from several sites.
• I wrote {foobar}, an R package for retrieving soccer data from Fotmob.
• I wrote {valorantr}, an R package for retrieving pro Valorant data from rib.gg.
• I have contributed to {ffscrapr}, an R API client for several fantasy football league platforms.
