Hello, I'm
KONAN Amani Dieudonné
Full-Stack Senior Statistician, Data Scientist, Machine Learning & AI Professional with 13+ years of international experience across Africa, Europe, and the Middle East. Trained at ENSEA Abidjan and Université Toulouse I Capitole, with advanced certificates from MIT. Expert in the full data-to-intelligence pipeline: from statistical modeling, econometrics, and data engineering to AI/ML systems, full-stack web development, and strategic consulting for international organizations.
Who I Am
Born in Didiévi, Côte d'Ivoire, I discovered my passion for numbers and data early on. That journey took me from ENSEA Abidjan — one of Africa's premier statistics schools — to a Master's in Statistics & Econometrics at Université Toulouse I Capitole in France, and advanced programs at MIT. Over 13+ years, I've served 11 organizations across 6+ countries — from the United Nations system (ITU, IOM, UNHCR, UNIDIR) to the International Cocoa Organization and the African Export-Import Bank. Today, I operate as a full-stack professional spanning the entire data-to-intelligence continuum: from rigorous statistical and econometric analysis, through data engineering and architecture, to machine learning, AI systems, and full-stack web application development. I am driven by a singular belief: Africa's prosperity must be built by Africans, powered by data and intelligence.
