About Me

Remote AI & Full-Stack Engineer

Based in Ghana — building for the world

DaCosta Agyei
Accra, GhanaUTC+0 — flexible hours

I'm an AI Engineer and Full-Stack Systems Engineer based in Accra, Ghana, with 6+ years of experience building production-grade intelligent applications. I specialise in the intersection of machine learning and software engineering — turning complex AI models into reliable, scalable products that real users depend on.

From real-time computer vision pipelines to NLP-powered enterprise tools, full-stack marketplaces to blockchain wallets, I've shipped systems end-to-end. I'm comfortable leading teams, working async across time zones, and communicating with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

I'm fully open to remote opportunities worldwide — if you need an engineer who builds, ships, and thinks, let's talk.
