Optimization

DraftKings MLB Lineup Optimizer

+11 points vs. a basic baseline

I built two optimization models to generate DraftKings MLB lineups. One used actual game results, while the other focused on a pre-game strategy using things like home field advantage, opponent ERA, and team stacking.

Predicting Trade Value for LA Kings Players

Ranked every active player by predicted value

I built a regression model in R to estimate trade value for LA Kings players based on draft pick compensation. I scraped player stats from Hockey-Reference and cleaned the data before ranking.
