Twenty3 is a sports analytics company providing analytics and predictive models to fans, media outlets and professional clubs. As the Head of Data Science, I built the Data Science Team, put the DS process in place and architect the DS backend to productize the models and analysis produced by the team. We produced a number of interesting tools and models:• Players Transfer monitoring on social media & in the news using various machine learning models and NLP methods for entity extraction, news classifications, etc..• Player Transfer predictive model based on Survival & Bayesian Analysis• Player Performance using regularized linear model• Match Lineup prediction using a Bayesian model based on a Dirichlet process • Players & Teams personas based on Latent Dirichlet Allocation• Match projections model using a Bayesian approach• Match predictive model using the on-the-ball events data modelled as a Markov process & LSTM deep neural networks as a well as a new approach using a reinforcement learning approach (Deep Q-Learning)

• Build and deployed custom machine learning models in the app using tools like Scikit-Learn, TensorFlow, Keras, Statsmodels, etc.• Designed and implemented the Klood Graph Engine, a graph exploration tool based on Topological Data Analysis methods.• Performed custom in-depth statistical analysis for our clients.• Designed and implemented various NLP systems: - Klood Entities Graph, an entities extraction and exploration tool working at scale - Search query creation assistant based on word embedding methods and discriminative models.
