I work on Opono, which simulates football: single matches to whole seasons, played out minute by minute, for about 1,800 clubs in 82 countries and nearly 200 national teams. You can change a lineup or the tactics for a match, transfer a player or a coach, or rule a player out injured, and see what might happen. It started out doing the same thing for news and asset prices.

Before that, I did a PhD in Management Science and Operations at London Business School. My thesis was about how Medicare should pay hospitals when their performance is partly down to luck.

I am from Trabzon, Maçka. I grew up in Istanbul. I like books.
