An Illinois (BS, Computer Engineering) and Washington (MS, Computer Science) alum and Senior Software Developer at Amazon Web Services, I spend my free time answering questions about basketball and by building useful tools to communicate that analysis. I built this blog to showcase some of this work and to justify the amount of time I spend on fantasy sports.
