About

Hi, I’m Hasan Kaan Özen, a Product Specialist and Data Scientist based in Utrecht, Netherlands. I blend a Mechanical Engineering background with advanced data science to drive product decisions and optimize live-ops for games and tech products. I’m pursuing an MSc in Applied Data Science at Utrecht University, with an expected graduation in 2026, and I’ve led cross-functional teams to ship features, analyze performance, and personalize user experiences. In parallel, I apply segmentation-based targeting and KPI monitoring to boost revenue and engagement while ensuring a strong user experience.

In my free time I enjoy gaming, drums, guitar, music production, photography, and rugby. I’m inspired by the intersection of analytics, design, and storytelling, and I love turning data and user feedback into tangible product improvements.
