About

Who I Am

Can Luca Köymen

Data analyst based in Zurich. Liverpool fan. Junior football coach on the side. I believe football decisions should be driven by evidence, not gut feeling.

I built Renball as a living portfolio — every project here is end-to-end: from raw data to insight, documented and reproducible.

Goal: To work as a data analyst at a professional football club.
