What I'm looking for

I seek scouting or analyst roles where I can apply video/data analysis to inform recruitment and tactics, work across international markets, collaborate with sporting directors, and grow in a data-driven club environment.

I am an experienced football scout and analyst who turns video and raw data into actionable recruitment and tactical insights. I specialise in player identification, opposition scouting and performance evaluation across multiple international markets.

My work history includes professional scouting roles and internships in Europe and Asia, freelance video/data analysis projects for clubs and academies, and delivering regular reports to sporting directors and head scouts. I build customised visualisations and reports using Wyscout, InStat, Metrica Sports, Tableau and Python.

I also have a multidisciplinary background working on AI/data annotation projects and as a language instructor, which sharpened my attention to detail, communication skills and cross-cultural collaboration. I speak Indonesian (native), English and Russian and apply sport psychology principles to talent assessment and player development.

I am results-driven, adaptable, and comfortable operating in club recruitment environments or on project-based engagements; I prioritise clear reporting, market research, and evidence-based recommendations to support strategic decision-making.
