Imed Eddine Aouidane.

I bridge raw data and business decisions through statistical analysis and machine learning — computer vision, forecasting, and analytics systems built with honest evaluation and interfaces people actually use.

I'm a Data Scientist based in Algiers, acting as the bridge between raw data and business facts. I take large, messy datasets and turn them into statistical evidence — through exploratory analysis, hypothesis testing, econometrics, and machine learning — then communicate it so decision-makers can act.

Master's in Data Science for Economics and Business, with experience across telecom, healthcare, oil and gas, and e-commerce. In summer 2026 I joined Djezzy as a Data Scientist on the DSIP4 immersion programme, owning the data and intelligence track behind a natural-language business assistant.

Alongside that: a cardiology assistant in active clinical use, chest X-ray classification pipelines, climate forecasting experiments, and client-facing analytics applications. I'm also the founder of Auralytics AI, recognised by Algeria's Ministry of Knowledge Economy and Startups.

Python / pandas / NumPy / statsmodels / SQL / causal inference / forecasting

Completed at Djezzy, one of Algeria's leading mobile operators, on the DSIP4 Data Science Immersion Program (22 June – 30 July 2026). I owned the data and intelligence track behind a natural-language business assistant, working across 13 months of daily commercial KPIs — data catalogue, data quality framework, causal analysis, and the forecasting layer.

Role Data Scientist, DSIP4 Signal Industry-scale telecom data
  • Designed and applied a six-dimension data quality framework (completeness, accuracy, consistency, timeliness, uniqueness, validity) with severity tiering, encoded as automatic query-time guards so the assistant could not return unvalidated results.
  • Established the lead–lag structure between commercial KPIs using cross-correlation, Granger causality and cointegration (ECM), separating genuine drivers from spurious correlation under HAC-robust inference.
  • Built the forecasting and scenario service: 126 champion models selected from 245 candidates by rolling-origin backtesting against a seasonal benchmark, with prediction intervals published only where empirically calibrated and evidence-graded scenario simulation.
