About URAM Analytics

Howdy, my name is Sean Sullivan.

​

I started URAM Analytics in 2020 while I was a graduate student at DePaul University. At the time, I was working as a Senior Analyst at a digital marketing agency, but I knew I wanted to pivot into a Data Science career, specifically in the sports world. I needed a place to centralize my work, so URAM began as a simple portfolio.

​

As my skillset has evolved, so has the site. It’s no longer just a collection of past school projects; it’s a hub for my current independent research and a toolkit for others trying to navigate this space.

​

My approach to sports analytics is pretty straightforward: I want to build things that have actual utility. Whether it’s a framework for evaluating pitching change decisions that a team can use or an analysis that offers specific pitch profile suggestions, I’ve shifted my focus toward projects that provide actionable insights. I still love a deep dive into the data, but I’m most interested in the "so what" that comes out of it.

​

Beyond my own research, I’ve tried to make URAM a central home for the resources I wish I had when I started. This includes a regularly maintained job board, links to datasets, and info on industry contests and conferences.

​

Ultimately, URAM is a mix of my own work and a resource hub for the community. Whether you’re a team looking to collaborate or an analyst looking for your next role, I hope you find something useful here.
