A goals model for the 2026 World Cup, fit on 200 real matches from that year. For every knockout tie it prices six markets, simulates the bracket all the way to a champion, and then grades its own call once the game is played.

COMPLETED · STA 160
A bootstrap regression that predicts how many passes a Liverpool player completes in a match. I tested it two ways: against four real betting lines, and against the end of a season it had never seen. I plan to run it again over the 2026-27 season.

A five-person academic team build of L-Store, the lineage-based storage architecture from Prof. Mohammad Sadoghi's research: columnar base and tail pages, B+ tree indexing, a buffer pool, a full query layer, and two-phase-locking concurrency control, built from scratch over a 10-week quarter.

Five of us studied how crime rates track home prices across Connecticut towns. Each additional burglary in a town lined up with roughly a $1,300 drop in property value.

IN PROGRESS · 2026 · AGGIE SPORTS ANALYTICS
Almost every soccer statistic describes the player on the ball. This one measures the other ten. Working from broadcast tracking of Germany's 1-2 loss to Japan at the 2022 World Cup, it finds every moment a player breaks into a run without the ball and scores it on the space won and the danger created. A first-pass classifier sorts each run by shape; that part is still being validated.

The site you're reading. I designed the type and color system myself, built each section as its own page, and tuned the motion to switch off for anyone who prefers reduced motion.
