Building an NFL Scouting Dashboard with Azure Data Services
summary
A working NFL scouting dashboard that scrapes 2007–2020 combine and college stats using BeautifulSoup + requests, runs Python notebooks on Azure Databricks (fixing nulls encoded as 9.99 with a lambda UDF), writes to Azure SQL + Key Vault for secrets, and orchestrates runs with Azure Data Factory twice a year. Power BI report loads images, applies row‑level security, uses a slicer pane and the Key Influencers visual (yards/attempts >5.5, 40yd <4.5, SEC bias) and publishes successfully.
