Research that became a product, used in the field

My vision-based AI research led to a Philippine patent and to CATCH-ALL, an AI visual analytics platform now commercialized by ISI Inc. As CEO, I personally led its product development and managed the projects and client relationships, from Manila City, the MMDA and Makati City to Roxas City, General Santos City and the Cordillera region. The same team then built the "Eyes Up" workplace-safety AI for Unilever in the Philippines, Indonesia and Thailand.
