Summary
Hardworking and passionate person with strong background in different areas but mostly in Sports Industry. I was Supervisor at Football Radar UK, a company that provides innovative and comprehensive solutions for the football industry. With over six years of experience in football data and analysis, I am passionate about delivering high-quality and in-depth insights into the game. As part of this company that owns Notts County F.C and Viborg FF, I had the opportunity to be in the analysis team that participated in match analysis and scouting decisions for these two football clubs. Building on my professional background, I took additional certificates for tactical analysis and internships in Football industry.
On the other hand, I have been in the world of betting for more than 7 years. I am experienced in reading money line graphs, odds graphs and in finding the edge following or going against public bets.
With everything I have learnt through the years, I am well prepared to contribute to future opportunities.
