Joe Harris is a data scientist, sports fan and maths-lover. He prefers ideas to people, arguments to conclusions and he probably prefers maths to sport (but its very close). He also enjoys red wine, books you can touch and writing in the third-person. In January 2018, he travelled to Bangalore to assist the Royal Challengers Bangalore with their recruitment strategy in the largest player auction in a decade. RCB subsequently became the bookies favourites for both the tournament and every single individual match within it on the strength of their squad
