I used to beat bookmakers. Now I build the systems that catch people like me.

Sportsbook risk engineer working across real-time data, machine learning and AI agents. Ex-pro bettor, ex-Kambi trader and developer.

sharp bet flagged before the line moved

About

From 2008 to 2014 I was a professional bettor in a syndicate. I know how sharp money moves, where it hides, and how fast it gets in.

Then I switched sides. I joined Kambi in 2014, spent a year on the trading desk, then moved into development, automating work across trading and other departments. Since 2021 I've run my own company, building the risk systems I'd have hated to bet against.

What I do

Real-time data & risk

Live tables over millions of betting tickets, sub-second queries, and detection engines that flag a pattern while the bet is still open.

streaming data · risk detection · PostgreSQL

Machine learning & AI

Pricing models and CLV analysis, plus AI agents that do the work of a risk analyst and connect to Claude through MCP.

Python · ML models · AI agents · MCP

Automation

Replacing manual steps with tooling: data pipelines, reporting and trader tools, across trading desks and the teams around them.

Work

BetMetrics

A live risk desk on top of the operator's own betting platforms.

  • Sharp bettors, value bettors, arbers and faster-feed bets flagged as they land
  • Sub-second queries over millions of tickets
  • Any pattern you want to track becomes a live table in minutes: market imbalance, syndicates, copy-betting
  • AI risk agents and a Claude MCP connector that answer in plain English and act on the provider, with your approval or on their own

More tools for sportsbooks are in progress.
