    arena
    Pro Basketball Stats
    Android App


    Created an Android app and published it on the Google Play Store. This app allows users to quickly and easily access up to date and recent season stats for all active NBA players with various search and sort features. The data was compiled using Python on Jupyter notebooks and an NBA API, then it was stored using Google Firestore. The app was developed using Java and Android Studio.

    arena
    Machine Learning NFL
    Score Predictor


    Utilized Python scripts and the TensorFlow Machine Learning Library to predict NFL game scores. The NFL data was collected using an NFL API to collect training and testing data for the Machine Learning Algorithm. The Machine Learning script predicts various stats for each game including yards, touchdowns and points to come up with a final score prediction. All game data and prediction data is saved on Google Firestore.
