Visit live siteOverview
An innovative B2C fantasy sports platform combining daily fantasy contests with lottery-style gameplay. Focused initially on MLB, users build rosters of 5 players plus a 'SportsBall' pick to compete for real cash and progressive jackpots. I worked across the Django backend and React frontend — performant APIs, responsive UI, real-time score pipeline, secure wallet system.
