Data for Business

Delivery more value with data

Data represents a real opportunity for every organization across the world no matter the field or the size, it is the new oil. When well used, data provides actionable insights to organizations in order to make better decisions and maximize opportunities. Concretely, data helps organizations know what happened (Descriptive Analysis), understand why it happened (Explicative Analysis), predict what will happen (Predictive Analysis) and define what to do to achieve a goal (Prescriptive Analysis).

87% of data science projects never make it to production (VentureBeat, 2019). The success of a data project relies on a good data strategy and and qualified data engineering team. We tend to recruit many Data Scientists and Data Analysts but few Data Engineers, resulting in data that are often unavailable and of poor quality, ultimately leading to the abandonment of data projects. As a Data Science Professional, my main mission is to help organizations define and implement a comprehensive data strategy.

If you are looking for a Data Expert to help your organization in the Data Transformation process, I'm the person you need. Let's discuss our collaboration. I will help define your data strategy and implement your analytical project successfully.

About

I'm Joseph Konka, a passionate data science professional from Togo. I am currently working as Customer Analytics Supervisor at Togocom in Lomé.

I have a background in mathematics. I started my data science journey trough Africa Tech Up Tour Bootcamp in 2019, I learnt about Python, Data Science, Machine Learning, Git, Docker. I also learn online on my free time developing strong skills. I am currently doing an Executive Master in Artificial Intelligence & Data Analytics at HEC Maroc.

Since my beginings at Rintio, I've worked on various subjects and I develop several data skills my data carera in November 2019 as Trainee Data Scientist at RINTIO. During over two years, I've mainly working on deep learning using Python frameworks. After over three years, I consider myself as a polyvalent Data Analyst and Data Scientist.

On the other hand, I actively share Python and Data Science content through Algo Jungle. It is my way of contributing to the community and sharing knowledge in my areas of expertise.

My life is not only Python and Data. I also spend my time in playing games, reading or watching movies and football matches.
