As we enter the end-of-year holiday season, I...
As we enter the end-of-year holiday season, I wanted to reflect on Sentitrac and my progress so far this year. While I had been thinking about it for a few years since completing my master's thesis in the same focus area, I didn't start commercializing Sentitrac seriously until July of this year." "" "In this latter half of the year, I've worn many hats for Sentitrac. I've been the general counsel for the business, setting up the business entity and looking into potential IP protections (IE patent, copyright). I've been the head of design, hiring a design agency (ThreeSixtyEight) to produce a brand identity and redesign existing pages that would set up the business' visual identity for years." "" "Of course, I've also been a software engineer, building all the wiring for retrieving projections and news about players, and processing it all into what you see on sentitrac.com -- and of course building sentitrac.com itself! What's funny is in a big company, 4+ people would've done the software engineering I just described: an AI engineer to build the projection model, a data engineer to create the pipes, backend engineer to connect the data to the application, and a web engineer to implement the design! " "" "I've also been the head of marketing, hiring two agencies to work on the online brand presence. The first (Eisman Digital Consulting) handles all my social media, unburdening me from a near-daily task -- posting to Instagram, Twitter/X, and TikTok! The second (WUNDERWORX) handles SEO and the Sentitrac blog. " "" "Lastly, I've also had to be the CEO, balancing all these decisions into an overall cohesive strategy for what I'm trying to create. If there's anything I've learned this year with building Sentitrac, it's that it is going to take some time for it to take off, and I'm ok with that. It's been so fun to work on; I look forward to the many more hats I'm going to get to wear while building Sentitrac."
