Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJohn Coene is a founder and data-driven engineer based in Geneva with 11 years' experience turning complex datasets into actionable insights and products. He blends practical software development in Go, JavaScript and R with hands-on analytics—building R packages, Shiny apps, crawlers and automated reporting pipelines for marketing and social listening. His background spans analytics roles at the World Economic Forum and Cheetah Mobile and leadership of research teams at Digital Jungle, giving him rare depth across survey design, text mining, social network analysis and production tooling. As founder of Opifex he applies that mix to productize data workflows, and his past co-founding experience shows a knack for moving ideas to operational ventures. Colleagues describe him as equally comfortable writing low-level scripts to assist engineers and designing statistical approaches like propensity score matching for client-facing studies.
