From Engineering
to Applied AI.

Engineer. Entrepreneur. Applied AI Practitioner.

Portrait of Chan Chak Fung
7+Years Cross-sector
Leadership & Execution

Chan Chak Fung · 陳澤鋒

I work in the space between emerging technology and real-world application — where engineering, entrepreneurship, business operations and applied AI meet.

My path started in engineering, then moved through entrepreneurship and business operations — building and running companies across the UK and Hong Kong — before turning to AI and emerging technology. With over 7 years of cross-sector experience as a General Manager and Technical Director, I've learned technology through implementation, not just theory: spearheading digital transformation, managing strategic P&L, and driving organisational restructuring. I'm currently completing an Executive MBA at The Chinese University of Hong Kong, adding formal management grounding to lessons learned in the field.

Today, as an Applied AI Practitioner and Technology Commentator, I work on bridging emerging technology with real business needs — and as a Low-Altitude Economy Practitioner, I lead enterprise drone deployment, navigate regulatory governance, and build practical systems for Hong Kong's emerging low-altitude economy. I write and speak about what I find along the way.

"Let's deploy the future together."

HOW I THINK

One way I analyse technology and business problems — not a formal framework, just a lens I keep coming back to:

01 — AI Capability

What the technology can actually do today.

02 — Business Need

What the organisation actually needs to achieve.

03 — Operational Reality

How the work actually gets done, day to day.

04 — Practical Application

Where capability, need and reality can actually meet.

05 — Business Value

The outcome that makes the whole exercise worthwhile.

I call this the Applied AI Gap — most projects stall somewhere between capability and reality, not for lack of ideas.

01

Clarity first

Strip away the jargon and focus on the ideas that matter.

02

Business grounded

Connect every technology conversation to real value and outcomes.

03

People centred

Build confidence, curiosity and momentum—not fear of change.

Beyond the desk

In the field,
in the community.
