📌 AI & Machine Vision for Railroad Safety

The Challenge

A railroad technology company was developing a Machine Vision & AI-powered track inspection system , but the project was having trouble scaling due to technical and operational issues. The data collected from track sensors was irregular and poorly structured, making it difficult to process and analyze. Manual data inspection resulted in weeks-long delays . The engineering team lacked clear leadership, processes, and the right technical expertise.

The Solution

  • Rebuilt the engineering team , hiring key personnel to strengthen execution.
  • Established clear development processes , improving collaboration and accountability.
  • Optimized image processing time , enabling customers to get faster insights.
  • Created AI algorithms to automate data inspection , reducing human error.

The Outcome

✅ The product was stabilized and immediately increased software sales by 50% .

✅ Automated data inspection eliminated manual errors and reduced analysis time .

✅ The newly structured team and processes ensured long-term scalability.

The Challenge

A healthcare SAAS product needed a semantic search engine that could understand conceptual queries instead of relying on exact term matching. Existing keyword searches were ineffective, making it difficult for users to find relevant information without knowing precise keywords.

The Solution

  • Developed a vector-based search .
  • Combined vector and keyword indexing , ranking search results intelligently.

The Outcome

✅ Enabled semantic search , improving content discovery for users.

✅ Integrated AI-powered search without disrupting existing workflows .

✅ Set the foundation for future AI-driven personalization in the product.

📌 AI-Driven ChatBot

The Challenge

Clinicians in a Healtcare environment needed a real-time AI assistant to answer procedural questions.

The Solution

  • Built an LLM-powered ChatBot tailored to relevant terminology.
  • Implemented containment logic to ensure the bot stayed on-topic.
  • Explored LLAMA-based models for secure, in-house AI deployment.
  • Ensured compliance with data residency laws for AI-generated insights.

The Outcome

✅ Reduced dependency on manual documentation by providing AI-driven answers.

✅ Increased user efficiency by streamlining relevant queries .

✅ Set the foundation for a future expert system that could act as a Digital Assistant .

📌 Rescuing a $30 Million Failing Project

The Challenge

A healthcare organization had invested $30 million into a critical initiative. The project was plagued by technical failures, leadership breakdowns, and mounting regulatory risks. With no clear path forward, the project was on the verge of collapse.

The Result

✅ Successfully stabilized service within months, salvaging the investment.

✅ Recomposed the engineering team, established processes, created accountability lines and rebuilding trust in technology leadership and project execution.

✅ Achieved HIPAA compliance, unlocking new market opportunities.

📌 Data Migration Rescue for a State Agency

The Challenge

A state agency faced a data migration failure that put financial oversight and compliance at risk. Budget overruns, data integrity issues, and technical misalignment threatened to derail the project completely.

The Result

✅ Completed the migration with full data integrity restored.

✅ Prevented operational disruptions and ensured regulatory compliance.

✅ Recognized with an official Commendation from the state oversight board.
