Sports Statistics Aggregator Software

Project Overview

The client required a robust desktop software solution capable of sifting through an API to retrieve and display past statistics and results for multiple sports. The primary focus was on Football, NBA Basketball, and NHL Hockey. It was essential that the software autonomously updates itself daily, ensuring the most recent statistics are always accessible. For football, data spanning the last 10 years was required, while for basketball and hockey, the timeline was narrowed down to the last 5 years. A challenge in this project was managing the vast number of football leagues, totaling around 30, and ensuring seamless integration and presentation of their statistics.

Project Highlights

Objective

My Feedback

I'm incredibly proud of this project, primarily because of the comprehensive nature of the statistics we were able to integrate. Collaborating with sports enthusiasts and seeing the software come to life was immensely satisfying. The project not only demanded technical excellence in terms of software development but also an understanding of how sports fans and analysts interpret data. I genuinely appreciate the opportunity to have worked on such a multifaceted project.
