Behind the Numbers
Hey, I'm Spencer, a full-time data scientist and die-hard Knicks (and basketball in general) fan. Much of my life I've lived and breathed all-things basketball, and while getting my degree in data science at the University of Vermont, developed several projects that intersect data science and basketball. This web app is the product of many of those projects meshed together.
