He explores new methods in development and cybersecurity. His work shows the transformative effect of training and proficiency on professional practices.

Ibrahim Hamadoun Macinanké is a Malian full-stack developer and IT support and maintenance technician. He holds a bachelor's degree in management IT obtained in 2023 from the University School of Technology and Management in Mali.

Between 2019 and 2020, he also completed a one-year program in science and technology, mathematics, physics, and web and mobile development at Tianjin University of Science and Technology in China.

Currently a web developer and administrator for the Chamilo e-learning platform, he seeks out every opportunity to strengthen his technical skills. He aims to deepen his mastery of modern back-end development and clarify the uses of artificial intelligence in professional environments.

With this goal, the former cybercafe manager joined the Orange Digital Center (ODC), a digital skills training and innovation support center run by telecoms operator Orange. There, he is enrolled in a training program called "Meta Back-End Developer," which he completed with a certification in July 2025. He discovered the program earlier this year through his technology monitoring. It results from a partnership signed in April 2024 between ODC and Coursera, the international online learning platform.

Through this initiative, he also obtained several supplementary certifications in June 2025, including "AI for Everyone," "Prompt Engineering Generative AI for Marketing & Advertising," and "Computer Networks and Network Security."

These courses "allowed me to better understand the best practices of professional development, database management, and the fundamental principles of AI," he told the editorial team of We Are Tech Africa.

Macinanké said he was able to "immediately apply my new knowledge in my personal projects. I improved the structure of my applications, strengthened back-end code security, and refined my working method." He also revealed he is currently working on "a technological component and a 'made in Mali' application that will be among the most beneficial solutions for my fellow citizens."

He believes the entirety of this training has had a direct effect on his technical level and his skills, including those he had already consolidated previously, and that it will guide his future projects.

Despite the certifications obtained, Ibrahim Hamadoun Macinanké plans to continue his online training, contribute to collaborative projects, and get involved in developer and cybersecurity communities.

"My goal is to become a back-end focused full-stack developer specialized in cybersecurity, capable of creating high-performance and secure applications for the service of education and technological innovation," he said.
