Project Overview

Foundational research code and exploratory data analysis notebooks focusing on college and professional basketball efficiency metrics.

Problem & Objective

Incoming BSA data analysts needed a clean exploratory codebase and standardized data pipeline for analyzing basketball play-by-play and shot-chart datasets.

Analytical Approach

Developed modular Jupyter notebooks for cleaning raw basketball event logs, computing advanced ratings (ORTG, DRTG, Pace), and building shot density visualizations.

Key Result & Impact

Served as the baseline research pipeline for Fall 2024 basketball analytics sub-projects and member onboarding.
