Where will the fans sleep?
What happens when a host nation can’t house all its fans? Building optimisation models to forecast lodging demand for Qatar’s FIFA 2022 World Cup, balancing infrastructure needs with the risk of costly overbuilding.
This is where I put thoughts into words, things I’ve learned, problems I’ve solved, and ideas I’m still exploring. Think of it as a mix of notes, stories, and experiments from my journey in data and tech.
Note: I’m still moving posts from my old website - more articles coming soon.
