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 I have authored the VWO Stats Blog. In 2025, I taught a statistics bootcamp for a team of 60 marketers, product managers and data scientists.

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