In a previous post, I wrote about Throne AI, a sports prediction platform or "Kaggle for sports." If you're a sports fan and interested in using your machine learning abilities to predict the outcome of sports matches, then I highly recommend you sign up for Throne AI. After becoming obsessed with the platform, I wanted to know more about how it was created, what its future looks like, and the mind behind it. The following transcript has edited and condensed for the purpose of clarity. First off, tell us about your background, your education and work experience.

My big obsession of 2018 so far is sports prediction platform Throne AI. There's no better way to describe than Kaggle for sports. The platform provides users with data with which they use to build models to predict the outcome of sports matches. Each league on Throne AI counts as its own competition with its own ranking of users. It currently has the following league available: NFL, NBA, NHL, English Premier League, Serie A, La Liga, and the English Championship, with more to come.
