I'm a Project Controls Engineer at CTCI, Taiwan's largest international EPC contractor and a global top-100 firm in ENR's rankings, where I work on cost and schedule control for large-scale power and infrastructure projects. The job is about keeping complex, multi-year projects honest: planning the work, forecasting where it is heading, and tracking the gap in between. Over the past couple of years I've also designed, built, and deployed AI systems that have reached 70,000+ visits, across computer vision, multimodal understanding, and generative media.
The two sides feed each other. Running real schedules showed me where deterministic plans quietly break down, while building AI taught me how to model uncertainty and prove a method holds up. That overlap is where Converge came from, my most recent project and a Monte Carlo schedule-risk engine. Instead of committing to a single, fragile finish date, it answers a more useful question: how likely is that date, and which paths are really driving the risk?
A Monte Carlo schedule-risk engine that quantifies whether a deadline is actually achievable, and proves its own math is correct
Deterministic CPM produces a single finish date and a false sense of certainty. Converge runs thousands of simulations across a project network to show how likely that date really is, which paths actually drive the risk, and how much contingency a target truly needs. It's the project that fuses my project-controls domain with the engineering behind the AI work below.
- Merge bias, decomposed: Separates two effects most tools conflate: mean shift (from right-skewed durations) versus the true Jensen-inequality gap that appears only when parallel paths converge (e.g. commissioning subsystems merging into Integrated Systems Testing).
- Criticality index β CPM critical path: Ranks activities by how often they land on the realised longest path across simulations, surfacing the near-critical paths that deterministic float hides.
- Correlation as an output, not an input: Implements Hulett's Risk Driver Method, where named risk events hit the activities they physically affect, so correlation emerges from structure instead of a hand-entered coefficient.
- A validation bench, because credibility is the product: 67
pytesttests plus an in-app validation view covering analytic agreement, merge bias checked against SciPy numerical integration, Monte Carlo convergence verified at Ο/βN (log-log slope β β0.5), and reproduction of Hulett's published 1996 benchmark (with honestly flagged reconstructions, nothing fabricated). - Stack: Streamlit Β· vectorised NumPy Β· SciPy Β· Plotly, with a clean engine/UI separation. Flagship example: a data-center commissioning network (MEP β IST) with four parallel L3βL4 paths converging at L5 Integrated Systems Testing.
Newest project, built for rigour rather than traffic.

πΉ Machine Learning & AI Builder Hands-on in deep learning, computer vision, NLP, and model deployment, with a focus on building useful, explainable, and well-integrated AI solutions.
πΉ Engineering Execution Γ AI From running construction schedules to orchestrating multi-model AI systems, I carry the same structured, iterative mindset, whether defining MVPs or architecting segmentation pipelines. I bring ideas from concept to working code: a Monte Carlo schedule-risk engine validated against analytical solutions, multimodal fusion with YOLO + CLIP, morphological feature extractors that enhance CNN reasoning.
πΉ Data Quality Advocate I believe in "Garbage in, garbage out", a lesson that applies as much to training transformers as it does to a poorly defined CPM schedule. Whether it's feature engineering for XGBoost or preprocessing for diffusion models, a well-prepared dataset determines everything downstream.
πΉ Product-Minded Developer I don't just build AI models, I develop solutions that address real user needs. PawMatchAI emerged from understanding breed selection challenges; VisionScout transforms complex visual scenes into comprehensive narratives; VividFlow tackles professional content creation for non-technical users; Converge brings quantitative risk into schedule decisions. I prioritize features based on impact, iterate based on feedback, and measure success through actual adoption. The 70,000+ combined visits across my projects reflect this user-first approach, as does my technical writing on Towards Data Science, which translates complex architectures into actionable insights for practitioners.
I'm drawn to work at the intersection of large-scale program execution and data/AI-driven decision support, in environments where rigour, quantitative reasoning, and the ability to actually ship all matter.
I'm especially glad to connect with:
- Teams in program / project controls, planning, and delivery on complex capital projects (data centers, power, infrastructure) who value quantitative risk and analytics
- People building AI-powered products in computer vision, generative AI, or multimodal systems
- Anyone who cares about both technical depth and turning it into something that ships
Whether it's a potential collaboration, a role, or just comparing notes on schedule risk or AI system design, I'd welcome the conversation.
"Every challenge is a puzzle β it's just waiting for the right combination of algorithms and insight."
