Christopher Connelly is a Data Scientist at North Carolina State University, who works with various sports teams to help them discover insights into the data collected about their players, that may help them to improve their fitness and technique. In previous years, he worked on the Athlete 360 project at NCSU and HPCC Systems supported this research via our Academic Program. Chris joined the HPCC Systems Intern Program in 2019 when he collected GPS data from the men and women's soccer teams to carry out data analytics. In 2021, his intern project switched focused to looking at data collected from the women's basketball team. The aim was to use HPCC Systems to clean and analyse the data and provide visualisations in a dashboard via RealBi. In the past, Chris has used our bare metal platform, but in 2021, he was an early adopter of our Cloud Native platform providing valuable feedback to the development team.
