I performed analytics and trained other analysts for an Esports league. I was brought onto the team prior to the first season to scope and develop a stats program. We were responsible for processing, formatting, and presenting player statistics on a weekly basis as the league bracket progressed. A unique part of this experience was developing visual statistics with a graphics designer to be displayed on stream, in announcements, and to have on-hand for streamers when we had live games. After setting up the team and integrating a program to pre-format the data I stepped back as it was too much work to do concurrently with Caliva.- Worked with an API key to download CSV match data from games within the league- Wrote macros to assist inexperienced analysts in processing massive data pulls representing each match- Trained analysts and worked with the team to schedule analytics assignments for tournament days
