Hello! My name is Simon. I am a multi-lingual quantitative researcher who is passionate about data, dogs, and the public good. I hold a PhD in Political Science from American University in Washington, DC, a Master’s degree in Social and Political Thought from the University of Warwick in the UK, and a Magister degree in English Linguistics, Communication, and Business from the University of Munich. In 2009, I spent one year abroad at the University of Adelaide in Australia. The son of cosmopolitan parents, I grew up in Lagos, Nigeria, and Cairo, Egypt, attending German schools there. These experiences have enriched my life beyond belief, and I am grateful for them every day.

I currently live in Berlin and work as a product analyst at Mika, a digital healthcare app to support cancer patients. My work entails uncovering data insights to form hypotheses, designing product experiments, and generally guiding the app to be as valuable to cancer patients as possible. I also occasionally work on projects as a research fellow at the Data Science Center at American University and consult on replication processes at the academic journal Political Analysis.
