Hi Jason, Thanks for putting this community together! I've been passively teaching myself Python for awhile to add to my toolkit. I saw in your bio you're involved with sports data at Elias. That's super cool! I'd be curious to learn more about what tools and how Python is used in sports data analysis. Cheers 😀

Thanks @[email protected] , I think I was just in the right place at the right time.

I'll see if I can dig up some old technical blog posts from work. On my current project, we're using Python for a research SaaS tool for sports information people, generally at broadcasters and league offices. We also have a fair amount of ETL type code in Python for aggregating and enriching data.

That's awesome, I'm a big baseball nerd and have gotten a bit into the data/analytics side of the game lately. I've been wanting to use Python to develop some of my own programs for statistical analysis and make graphs/visuals of that data. Basically I just like visualizing interesting data sets lol. I appreciate the response. It sounds like a great gig!
