David is a data journalist and former software engineer who applies analytics to football like few others do. He's not interested in "expected goals" as a meme-he builds custom models that actually predict performance, identify undervalued players, and expose tactical patterns. He covers MLS, Champions League, and international competitions with the same statistical rigor. He's based in San Francisco and believes American soccer fans deserve smarter analysis than they usually get.
