Central Football Analytics Portfolio | Engineering the Future of African Football Intelligence ⚽📊 | Dennis Gathu # 📊 Football Analytics Portfolio: The Kenyan Edge ### Engineering Tactical Superiority through Data & Multi-Agent Intelligence ## ⚽ Why This Portfolio Matters for Pro Clubs In modern football, especially within the **KPL and East African regions**, the gap between high-performance and average performance is the ability to process data at speed. I build systems that don't just "report" what happened, but "predict" how to win. ### 🏗️ Core Competencies - **Automated Scouting:** Production-grade pipelines that ingest Metrica and StatsBomb data autonomously. - **Tactical "Digital Twins":** Simulating match scenarios (e.g., high-press outcomes) using Clojure's immutable data structures. - **Market ROI:** Leveraging 1.5 years of professional betting BI to identify undervalued talent (Moneyball for Africa). --- ## 📂 Case Studies & Key Projects ### 1. AgentRZA: The Scouting Engine **Problem:** Scouting departments are overwhelmed by manual data entry and inconsistent metrics. **Solution:** A multi-agent system that autonomously fetches, cleans, and enriches match data with xG and Pitch Control metrics. - **Club Impact:** Reduces technical scouting overhead by 80%. - **Tech:** Python, LangGraph, DuckDB, Fernet Encryption. ### 2. heinze: The Tactical Oracle **Problem:** Coaches cannot test tactical adjustments in real-time during a match. **Solution:** A real-time tactical simulation tool that identifies defensive vulnerabilities and suggests shape corrections. - **Club Impact:** Empowers the "Touchline Assistant" with data-backed defensive adjustments. - **Tech:** Clojure, Parallel Simulation, Vector-based Time Travel. ### 3. house-hedge: Proven Betting Intelligence (Transferable to Scouting ROI) **Problem:** High-value player recruitment is often based on emotion rather than objective ROI. **Solution:** A platform built and run in a live betting environment → exact multi-agent + xG + ROI logic now being adapted for player valuation and recruitment optimization (Mo …
