Projects

Where research
becomes practice.

The technology and business work behind the writing — from AI applied to real business workflows, to drones and the Low-Altitude Economy, and what each one taught me.

Selected work

From idea to
implementation.

Five projects spanning AI workflows and agents, web development, open data, and cross-border Low-Altitude Economy work. Each project follows the same structure: problem, approach, technology, current status and key learning.

📊
AI & BusinessCurrent Work

AI + Business Workflow

Applying AI to recurring business tasks — not as a chat interface, but as part of how the work gets done.

Problem

Recurring business tasks — reports, analysis, information processing — take real time and pull attention away from higher-value work.

Approach

I use AI as part of my own workflow to draft and structure reports, summarise information and support business analysis, rather than doing every step manually.

Technology

General-purpose AI tools applied directly to business workflows — a way of working, not a standalone product.

Status

In active use as part of my own recurring business workflow.

What I learned

The value isn't AI replacing the work — it's AI removing the mechanical parts so the judgment calls get more of my attention.

AI AgentsCurrent Work

AI Agents for Business Operations

Moving AI from a tool you ask questions to a system that helps run recurring operations.

Problem

Recurring administrative and bookkeeping work is repetitive but still needs judgment — a rigid script breaks easily, a fully manual process doesn't scale.

Approach

Developing AI-agent-based workflows that assist with business administration and bookkeeping — a step beyond a single AI query, toward something that participates in the recurring process.

Technology

AI agents applied to administrative and bookkeeping workflows.

Status

In development, with the scope of automation deliberately bounded by human review.

What I learned

Agents are a genuinely different design problem from chatbots — the hard part is deciding what they're allowed to do without a human checking every step.
💻
Digital & WebAI-Assisted

AI-Assisted Website Development

Designing and building business websites with AI as part of the development workflow.

Problem

Specialist businesses need modern, credible web presences that communicate expertise without relying on generic templates.

Approach

Designed and built business sites using AI-assisted development workflows — AI accelerates the mechanical parts of the build, while structure, hierarchy and brand voice remain manual decisions.

Technology

Bespoke, hand-coded front-end (custom CSS design systems, bilingual UX, animation), built with AI-assisted tooling as part of the process.

Status

Live application: laedrone.com.

What I learned

AI speeds up the mechanical parts of front-end development — structure, hierarchy and brand voice still take a human.

Experiments & ToolsOpen Data

HK Shadow
陰涼路線

A shade-aware walking route finder for Hong Kong, built on government open data — not an AI project, an open-data and mapping one.

Problem

Hong Kong's summer heat makes route choice matter — the fastest walking route and the most comfortable one are often different, and there was no easy way to see both.

Approach

Built a browser-based route planner that calculates two routes side by side — fastest and shadiest — instead of forcing a single answer.

Technology

Hong Kong government open data (buildings, footpaths), live weather data and browser-based mapping — no backend, no accounts, no AI/ML.

Status

Live: a free, working tool in the Apps section of this site — open-data engineering shipped end to end.

What I learned

Small, well-scoped open-data projects are a fast way to test how "possible" becomes "practical" — the hard part is rarely the algorithm, it's the data.

Drones & Low-Altitude EconomyHong Kong & Macao

LAE Drone / SKYMIND
Low-Altitude Economy

Enterprise drone and low-altitude economy practice across Hong Kong and Macao.

Problem

Organisations need a practical route into drone deployment while regulation is still evolving.

Approach

Built related Hong Kong and Macao ventures, each tailored to its local operating environment.

Technology

UAV operations, BIM and IoT integration for inspection and infrastructure use cases.

Status

Active practices in Hong Kong and Macao.

What I learned

In low-altitude operations, governance and local context matter as much as the technology.
