Case Summary

Back in 2020, my dad was tired of using google sheets to do his horse race prediction calculations. So I offered to build him a program that does this for him.

I built him a windows desktop application with a graphic user interface for him to provide the necessary input for each participating horse, and then, with a click of a button, be able to see the prediction calculations. This helps his clients have a somewhat better chance of choosing the right horse before each race.

Then I built him a Gatsy website, and deployed it to Netlify. To help him showcase his business offerings.

My Take

I found it an interesting opportunity to explore the python language while getting a glimpse into how horse prediction calculations are made.

I used the Kivy framework, and had fun learning a new non-web apporach to building graphical user interfaces.
