I’m a handball coach, performance coach, and data analyst with over 15 years of experience across national and international contexts. Passionate about turning raw data into actinable insights, I specialize in building analytical tools that support coaches, athletes, and teams in making evidence-based decisions. Working independently, I combine technical expertise with a pratical, and real-world impact-whether I’m automating data workflows or publishing performance dashboards.
