Overview
I'm a Analytical Engineer who builds custom analytics products for basketball statistics. My background combines hands-on engineering work at Kahua, where I helped build a scalable analytics products, and time working with a college basketball staff, giving me a practical view of how coaches consume information and where better tools create an edge.
My focus is building custom analytics products for college basketball teams: recruiting boards, opponent scouting dashboards, player development trackers that surface trends, and data pipelines that turn scattered information into actionable insights for coaches.
I love coaching, and I love data, and I believe there is a new generation of coaches won't just be "analytically driven," they'll build their decisions on that foundation. We've seen this before with film being introduced to the game. An entire generation of coaches lives in the film room, unable to imagine the craft without it. Data-oriented coaches are popping up by the day. As this new genre of coach becomes more and more popular, there will be a growing need for experts who can communicate data insights into basketball insights.

Custom Analytics Products
WearneAnalytics.com
A tool designed to give visibility to D1, D2, D3, NAIA statistics. There is a huge gap when it comes to data accessibility at the lower collegiate levels of basketball. I wanted to build something that is easy to access without buggy ads, a million clicks, while still maintaining high level data. This can help coaches cut time in half when pursuing a new transfer target our scouting an upcoming opponent.
Coaching Staff Analytics Reports
Custom reports built for the Georgia Gwinnett coaching staff analyzing player tracking data, on/off splits, and shot distributions. Designed around how coaches actually consume information so the numbers translate directly into practice and gameplan decisions.
Scalable Analytics Product
At Kahua, I helped build a scalable analytics product that now generates millions of dollars in ARR. I lead the engineering subset of the team, owning performance work, product enhancements, and the internal/external API used for production releases, validations, and rollbacks.
Internal AI Development Tools
Custom AI tooling built to support the customer delivery team and accelerate development cycles. These tools speed up implementation work, reduce repetitive tasks, and let the team ship custom analytics offerings faster in complex environments.
ETL Pipelines & Data Infrastructure
The data engineering layer behind WearneAnalytics and my other tools: pipelines that ingest, clean, and refresh data from many sources so the numbers stay current and trustworthy. Built so a staff can rely on the data instead of maintaining spreadsheets.
Set Evaluation
Built for coaches to evaulate their sets and player movements. The goal of this project was to evaluate player movements by tracking their positioning. This can give signals to coaches of player positioning that throws off set effectiveness.
