About Vessel
We exist because
most AI projects don’t ship.
Built by engineers who got tired of watching promising models die in staging. We specialise in the hard middle: turning proofs-of-concept into software.
Our position
We are not a consultancy that hands you a roadmap. We are not an agency that hands you a prototype. We are engineers who stay until the system runs in your environment, with your data, serving your users.
That takes longer. It costs more. It is also the only way to have something that actually works.
How we work
By the numbers
Systems in production
Across five industries
Average weeks to ship
Brief to deployed
Client retention
All clients return for phase two
Missed deadlines
Across all projects
The team
Four engineers. No account managers.
Kofi Mensah
Founder, ML Systems
Former ML lead at two fintech exits. Obsessed with production reliability. Built inference infrastructure for systems processing 2M+ daily transactions.
Aisha Kamara
NLP & LLM Engineer
PhD in computational linguistics. Specialises in domain adaptation and fine-tuning frontier models on restricted datasets. Wrote our evaluation framework.
David Okonkwo
Platform Engineer
10 years of distributed systems. Runs our infrastructure — Kubernetes, observability, failover. The reason our uptime numbers are what they are.
Priscilla Agu
Data Architecture
Pipelines, warehouses, schema design. She makes data clean before the model sees it. The work no one notices until it's absent.
