About
I turn hard technical problems into useful products.
I am Prince Mawuko Dzorkpe, a Ghana-based Software & AI/ML Engineer. My work spans AI applications, backend systems, data workflows and the infrastructure needed to make them dependable.
Where I fit
Software, AI and systems administration — adaptable by role.
I can contribute as a Forward Deployed Engineer (FDE): working directly with users and clients to understand their needs, translate them into practical software, and deliver solutions across the stack. Freelance, client-facing application work has given me experience taking projects from requirements through implementation, deployment and support. Entrepreneurship training through Kosmos Innovation Center and Duapa Werkspace strengthened my product and business-problem perspective. Combined with my AI/ML, backend, frontend, database and infrastructure experience, this makes FDE a natural fit alongside my other engineering roles.
