Data for Business

Delivery more value with data

Data offer organizations the opportunity to make better decisons. Every organization needs to know what's going on. Without data, you’re just another person with an opinion', W. Edwards Deming. Data can be a game changer for every bussiness. consetetur sadipscing elitr, Data will help you to understand the behaviour of your customers and identify new opportunities. vero eos et accusam et justo duo dolores et ea rebum. Stet clita kasd gubergren, no sea takimata sanctus.

The biggest challenge for organizations in the deployment of their data strategy is the collection of data and their reliability. Once the data is at hand, the possibilities are enormous. My main mission is to use data to help my organization to know what happened, understand why and predict what will happen in order to make better decisons.

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

About

I'm Joseph Konka, data science professional from Togo. I am currently working as Ad Hoc Analytics Officer 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.
