Hi! I am a statistician, a teacher and the founder of Thinking Bell.

I am known for simplifying experimentation with analogies, doodles, and games that make decisions sharper and science practical.

I have led data science research at VWO and recently taught 60 leaders at The Economist. I have authored the VWO Stats Blog and have delivered 15+ talks for experimenters.

Join me to master experimentation with clarity, depth, and fun.
