this is @Mutindaaaaa and he's 18, plays soccer, and had zero machine‑learning experience when starting.

🔭 he wanted to build an ai scout to help find undiscovered talent.

🎯 in a 2 week sprint with 1‑on‑1 feedback from @DylanEMHolland , he shipped his first computer‑vision build

a YOLOv8 model that spots every player + the ball, turning raw match footage into structured data for scouting gold.

🦾we're exploring how to turn that bespoke support into a build your own skill tree experience so that anyone can go from "what's kmeans" to demoing their own projects without the guesswork.

curious to try v2 of skill trees?

drop a🌲below and we'll share early access soon.

also shout out to @nzisakiilu being the coolest aunt ever and gifting something like this sprint as a recent grad.
☀️ summer is a great time to build.
