THESIS
========================================================================
Solo-built and operate a production sports analytics platform spanning 5 leagues (MLB, NFL, NBA, NCAA football, college baseball) on a Cloudflare-native stack. One operator carries the full stack — product, data pipelines, ad-tech-grade audience surfaces, and agent-ready APIs — kept concurrent across all five leagues without contractor headcount. AI-native operator since 2023; day-one Claude adopter. Three years of data-informed advertising at Spectrum Reach across linear TV, OTT/CTV, and digital; top-decile producer at Northwestern Mutual (Power of 10) with the firm's March Madness sales win.

EXPERIENCE

FOUNDER & BUILDER · SOLE OPERATOR · Blaze Sports Intel
Boerne, TX  ·  2023 — Present

- Operate a production sports analytics platform across MLB, NFL, NBA, NCAA football, and college baseball as the sole founder and operator — five leagues kept concurrent on a Cloudflare-native stack with zero contractor headcount.
- Hold real-time scoring, standings, and box-score surfaces across all five leagues by routing MLB StatsAPI, ESPN, and NCAA feeds through edge-cached read paths — keeping per-request budgets inside Workers free-tier ceilings rather than spinning up paid infrastructure.
- Ship predictive surfaces (win probability, Monte Carlo) and a college-baseball sabermetrics MCP exposing wOBA / wRC+ / FIP over JSON-RPC — making the platform addressable by Claude, Codex, Cursor, and other LLM agents without a separate integration project.
- Package the platform as Pro and Enterprise tiers (API access, custom exports) for fans, scouts, and media — using Firebase Auth and subscriber storage as the conversion funnel, designed to be partnership-ready rather than self-only.

FINANCIAL REPRESENTATIVE · POWER OF 10 · Northwestern Mutual
