Maison YEM'S
Online shop for a shoemaker in Cotonou: a curated selection, a made-to-measure configurator, and ordering with nothing to pay upfront. The workshop calls the customer back, who pays on delivery or by Mobile Money.
Consulting / Strategy/Execution / Results
I help students, young professionals and founders move their projects forward with strategic, practical solutions built around their goals.
Most businesses fix one piece and wonder why nothing changes. These four work as one system.
A product nobody hears about doesn't sell. A pitch with nothing behind it doesn't convert. Usually the problem isn't the marketing or the product. It's the gap between them, where one freelancer's work ends and nobody picks it up. I cover the whole chain, so there's no gap.
Most messaging fails before anyone reads it: it talks about you, not them. I find the assumption that's costing you attention, then build the message and channels around what your buyer actually cares about.
Visibility doesn't pay the bills. Signed contracts do. I build the machine that captures leads and qualifies them on three things that actually predict a sale: real interest, budget, and a deadline. Everything else is noise.
An interface people understand in three seconds. I design simple, consistent journeys that hold up on mobile as well as desktop, because friction is lost revenue.
Every manual task you repeat weekly is a system you haven't built yet. I turn them into tools that run without you, built by an engineer, not stitched together with duct tape.
No mockups. Each of these started as a problem worth solving, and each one is documented, including the decisions I got wrong and had to reverse.

A platform that guides students toward the right engineering track (Full-stack, Cyber, Big Data, AI or Robotics) based on their profile and results.
Inbound form responses are scored and sorted into hot, warm and low automatically, then written straight to a live Google Sheet. No manual sorting: you open the sheet and call whoever is at the top.
Currently building: an analysis of the Olist dataset covering sales, delivery times and customer satisfaction, to surface where margin actually leaks. Case study to follow once the numbers hold up.
No agency, no account manager. You talk directly to the person doing the work.
I'm Abou Camara, an independent consultant running my own practice from Fès, Morocco, working with founders and small teams across Europe and West Africa.
I come from a Big Data engineering background, which means I can actually build what I recommend. But engineering alone was never the point. What I care about is the full chain: understanding who buys, why they buy, and building the system that turns that understanding into revenue.
That's the gap I fill. Marketing people can't build. Developers can't sell. I do both. I'll write the positioning, design the funnel, code the automation that runs it, and hand you something that works without me. My own tools are proof of concept: a lead engine that qualifies prospects on its own, a platform that guides students to the right path, a dashboard that turns raw data into decisions.
The sales half isn't improvised either. I'm working through a structured remote-sales and copywriting programme (qualification, discovery, objection handling), because the gap between a good tool and a sold tool is a skill you learn, not a talent you have.
I work directly, without jargon, with a progress update every week. You always know where your project stands.
Programming, data analysis, software architecture and leadership. Every certificate opens as the original document, with its reference number. Nothing to take on trust.
Diagnosis before prescription. A clear framework, regular checkpoints, no surprises on budget or timeline.
30 minutes to find the actual problem before anyone mentions a solution. You leave with two or three things you can act on, whether we work together or not.
Within 48 hours you get a detailed quote: scope, timeline, deliverables and a fixed price.
I work in iterations, with a weekly progress update and permanent access to the work in progress.
Going live, handover of all access, documentation and 30 days of support included.
You won't find a price on this page, and that's deliberate. A number quoted before the problem is understood is a number one of us will regret. Scope and cost come out of the first call, in writing, before anything starts.
There's a specific outcome you need to exist: a site, a tool, an automation, a system that stops leaking.
You'd rather have someone in your corner month after month than brief a new freelancer every quarter.
Both start the same way: 30 free minutes to work out what's actually broken. You leave with something usable either way.
Three ways to start. None of them commit you to anything, and the first costs nothing but half an hour.
30 minutes to diagnose the problem, not to pitch you. You'll leave with something you can use even if we never work together.
