HDC × 6-8 Sports Inc. — Portfolio
Sports intelligence,
engineered.
Hurst Data Consulting LLC is a sports-data consulting practice. This is a case-study record of six products built for 6-8 Sports Inc., a water-polo analytics platform — from live broadcast infrastructure to production-database reporting to client-facing analytics — each one taken from a specific client request to a running, versioned deliverable.
Capabilities
What these six projects demonstrate
One client, one continuous engagement, five distinct engineering disciplines.
Real-time & broadcast systems
OBS automation, live-stream control, and a telestrator drawn directly over a moving feed — built for one operator running a live broadcast without a crew.
Production-safe data pipelines
Read-only, transaction- and timeout-guarded integrations against a live production database, turning raw assessment and game data into client-ready output.
Reporting & interactive dashboards
Self-contained, offline-capable HTML reports and Plotly dashboards, with drill-down navigation from a cohort down to a single athlete or game.
Video & film pipeline engineering
Cloud video processing that automatically aligns raw game footage to play-by-play data, with telestration and per-player reporting on top.
End-to-end delivery discipline
Test-driven builds — commits and hundreds of unit, integration, and end-to-end tests across the portfolio — from client request to shipped product.
Engagement Timeline
From proposal to product
Each bar starts at the earliest dated evidence of the engagement — a kickoff email or design-spec intake where one exists, otherwise the project's first commit — and runs to its last commit, or to today if still in progress.
Dates are sourced from saved client correspondence and design-spec intake notes where available, and from git commit history otherwise — see each case study for its specific source.
