Summary
Simon Von Essen is a Data Scientist II based in London with 8 years of experience turning messy, real-world data into measurable product impact across consumer platforms. At Deliveroo he designs and analyses randomized experiments—from UI A/B tests to cluster-randomized dispatcher algorithm trials—sizing features with interactive regressions and offline runs to prioritise high-ROI work. He’s known for meticulous code reviews, mentoring new hires on Python and git, and fostering cross-team knowledge sharing via regular forums. Earlier roles at Goodgame Studios and DHL blend production ML, ETL/dashboarding, and advocacy for A/B testing and Bayesian methods, showing he balances rigorous experimentation with practical delivery. Collected training in chemistry and nanodegrees in data science give him a disciplined, analytical approach and a knack for communicating technical trade-offs to stakeholders.
