Machine Learning Engineer · Brisbane, Australia
Welcome to the portfolio website of

Mark Asare

I build ML systems that reach production and products that real people actually use.

About

Builder first.
Scientist second.

A career shaped across Ghana, Italy, the Netherlands, the US, and Australia, with the same instinct throughout: build work that survives contact with the real world.

Started in Accra, Ghana, then moved through Turin, Amsterdam, Florence, California, Canberra, and now Brisbane.

I like shipping systems, not just analyses.

What I Build

Three things I do well.

Looking specifically for an ML, AI, full-stack, AWS, or Azure engineer? I put the end-to-end capability view on a dedicated page.

ML Systems in Production

Training pipelines, model serving on Kubernetes, CI/CD for ML, evaluation gating, monitoring and drift detection.

Generative AI & RAG

RAG pipelines, LLM fine-tuning, Azure AI Foundry, LangChain orchestration, LangSmith observability.

Full-Stack Data Products

End-to-end web applications with production infrastructure and real users, from architecture through deployment and support.

Featured Work

A project with real users, payments, and operations.

CanHike is the clearest example of how I like to work: product thinking, backend discipline, and infrastructure that holds up in production. Alongside that, I have also built public-facing service sites such as GABS Research Consult to translate specialist expertise into a credible digital presence.

Beyond the Code

I also run
& lift weights.

When I'm not building ML systems, I'm either on a trail run around Brisbane or in the gym. Running keeps me sharp — there's something about the discomfort of a long run that makes debugging a production issue feel straightforward by comparison.

Fitness has been consistent across multiple countries and time zones. It's how I maintain focus, think clearly, and stay consistent during complex projects.
