About This Project

PyKings.io is a portfolio project created to demonstrate practical applications of optimization algorithms and web development skills.

The project uses PuLP, an open-source linear programming library, to solve the lineup optimization problem with these constraints:

  • $50,000 salary cap
  • 6 players total (1 Captain, 5 Utility players)
  • Captain position with 1.5x points multiplier and 1.5x salary cost

This tool generates multiple lineup variations to provide options for fantasy sports contests.
