โšฝ Dennis Gathu | Football Data Architect

๐Ÿ›๏ธ Engineering the Future of African Football Intelligence

I am a 22-year-old Football Data Analyst based in Kenya, blending 1.5 years of high-stakes Betting Business Intelligence with a deep-rooted football legacy. Coming from a professional football family (my father was a pro player and development coach), I translate "gut feeling" into immutable, data-driven tactical edges.


๐Ÿง  The Transition: From Betting BI to Pitch Performance

My experience as a BI Analyst for major capital groups in Ethiopia (managing 8+ betting products) taught me to survive in high-pressure data environments.

  • Precision: Managed daily reconciliations and fraud detection for thousands of users using Telegram bot alerts.
  • Visualization: Built real-time Grafana dashboards for retention and promotion analysis.
  • Impact: Translated complex spikes into actionable marketing and design strategies.

Now, I apply this "Moneyball" rigor to the beautiful game.
