About Eren Şimşir
Eren Şimşir is the founder, software developer, and managing editor of Soccer Games Today. He designs and maintains the platform’s statistical prediction engine, automated scoring pipelines, and data architectures.
Background and Technical Focus
With a background in software engineering and web technologies, Eren developed Soccer Games Today as an open, transparent soccer prediction game and analytical resource. His technical work focuses on:
- Statistical Modeling: Implementing rating systems such as Elo-based formulations and Poisson probability distributions to estimate match outcomes and expected goals without subjective bias.
- Data Engineering: Building resilient data pipelines integrating live sports fixtures and results from providers like football-data.org.
- Web Architecture: Designing fast, privacy-respecting static websites using Astro, TypeScript, and modern edge deployment infrastructure.
Editorial Philosophy
Soccer Games Today is governed by strict editorial transparency:
- Zero Fabricated Claims: We do not claim to possess insider knowledge, scouts, or physical stadium access. Every prediction is derived strictly from published data and mathematical models.
- Separation of Fact and Probability: Match results, head-to-head records, and official regulations are reported as facts; expected scores and win percentages are reported strictly as model outputs.
- Responsible, Entertainment-First Focus: Soccer Games Today is an educational resource and prediction game. We never publish tipster advice, betting links, or affiliate bookmaker endorsements.
