Hi! I am a Mechanical Engineering student at Lehigh University, class of 2019. I have always been a basketball fan, but I moved to San Antonio when I was younger and fell in love with the game. A few years ago, I wanted to learn how to use Excel so I began meshing my love of basketball with learning data. That has slowly snowballed into multiples models and metrics to try and explain the game that I manage today.
