Simon Sangla

I build data products that make analytics self-service — so business teams make faster decisions without waiting on a central analyst. At Tripadvisor, I designed and scaled the Insight Bot (500+ monthly NL queries), built the Business Metric Wizard (~80% KPI investigation reduction), led the Mixpanel → Snowflake integration, and owned the complete Eppo experimentation governance rollout. I thrive in remote-first, async environments where output matters more than presence and data is treated as a product, not a support function.
