The problem
Football clubs, analysts, and supporters lack real-time quantified insights on supporter sentiment across digital terraces during matchdays and transfer windows.
What I delivered
- Developed an AI-powered intelligence platform tracking and quantifying real-time supporter sentiment across the Premier League and European leagues.
- Implemented the Fan Mood Index (0–100) aggregating chatter from Reddit, YouTube, XenForo fan forums, blogs, and RSS feeds.
- Constructed conversational RAG search allowing users to query club crises, tactical reactions, and player transfer buzz.
- Integrated Google Cloud AI infrastructure and vector embeddings to categorize tactics, management performance, and team morale.
Key decisions
Multi-source crawling & normalization pipeline
Engineered automated scrapers with anti-bot resilience and sentiment normalization across diverse forum formats.
RAG over football vector embeddings
Enabled natural language queries on fan reactions by indexing structured commentary in a vector database.
