Mark Asare
I build ML systems that reach production and products that real people actually use.
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.
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.
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.
CanHike — Community Platform
A full-stack community platform for the Canberra hiking group. Built solo from scratch: membership & Stripe payments, drag-and-drop newsletter editor, article workflows, galleries, permissions, event scheduling, and a full admin panel.
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.
