What I'm looking for

I'm looking to apply data analysis, visualisation, and football performance insights in a role where I can support decision-making and work on complex operational datasets.

I've collected, cleaned, and validated football operational and performance data as a freelance Football Data Analyst, defining KPIs and creating Power BI and Tableau dashboards that support decision-making.

Through Sports DataCampus and a final project with the Portuguese Football Federation, I developed positional-data visualisation tools using latitude and longitude data. I also led a data-analysis project team, building Python visualisations including heatmaps, radar charts, shot maps, and passing networks.

My background combines sports management, big data applied to football, and programming, with hands-on work in Python, R, SQL, data modelling, and performance analysis.
