Analyzing large datasets doesn't have to slow you down!

The flood of business data keeps growing, but the ability to analyze it quickly isn’t keeping pace. When datasets become too large, decision-making slows, patterns go unnoticed, and opportunities slip away.

At MoreSteam, we tackled this challenge by developing a new data sampling feature in EngineRoom—designed to extract a manageable subset of data while preserving the statistical integrity of the original dataset.

Senior Engineer Tommy Stopak led the charge in creating and refining this tool. To put it to the test, he turned to NBA shot data, using visual pattern analysis to fine-tune the algorithm.

Curious how basketball, scatter plots, and programming came together?

Read our latest blog to see how Tommy’s innovative approach shaped EngineRoom’s new Samplifier tool.
