Beyond analyzing the game, I build custom software tools to make that entire workflow faster for modern technical staff.

I break down team performances and scout upcoming opponents. Using video and data, I identify tactical trends, strengths, and weaknesses to help teams prepare winning game plans.
Player Development
I create personalized video clips and data reports for individual players. This gives them clear, direct feedback to improve their decision-making, positioning, and overall technical skills.
Coaching
I don't just analyze the game; I coach it. With a UEFA 'B' License and first-team experience, I design and run training sessions that translate tactical analysis from the laptop straight to the training pitch.
