About Arun Bodapati

Arun Bodapati is Director of Data Science at Twitch, where he leads experimentation and measurement for the live-streaming platform. He focuses on the statistical rigor behind A/B testing, especially how false negatives and underpowered tests can quietly kill a company's best product ideas before anyone realizes the tests never had a fair chance.

Notable Quotes

"False negatives are the killer."

"If the intervention in plain English is very weak, just don't do the experiment. You're just wasting time."

"We only make money if our creators make money."

"The numerical result is less interesting than actually describing in plain English what the user behavior was."

"There's this whole idea generation, whose cost has just dropped to zero."
