where i've worked

Full Stack Developer @Champion Data

February 2025 - Present

  • Developed full-stack applications for the AI/ML team, integrating with inference engines and **WebSocket-based real-time systems** to deliver live in-game insights for analysts and clients.
  • Built infrastructure to stream live camera footage from AFL venues to **GCP Compute Engine VMs running custom computer vision models on NVIDIA GPUs**, delivering **triangulated ball positions and kick trajectories in real time**; inference workers containerised with Docker.
  • Delivered a **Next.js browser dashboard** to visualize ball tracking data and manage venue cameras and inference workers, using **Tailwind CSS, shadcn/ui, and Recharts**.
  • Created an athlete tracking data dashboard (GPS + LPS) using Next.js, Python, PostgreSQL, and Recharts, applying ML to extract insights on player positions and matchups — used **Redis for caching and session management**.
  • Established **GitLab CI/CD pipelines** for automated testing and deployment; implemented test coverage using pytest and Node.js testing frameworks.
  • Engaged with clients to gather requirements and delivered product demonstrations at key milestones.
