Data platforms, applied AI, and infrastructure — decades of combined engineering experience, now aimed at safety-critical fault tree analysis.

Security first, security always.
Builds AI that runs entirely inside the customer’s walls — for industries where data sovereignty isn’t a feature, it’s the foundation.
Tuan founded CoreIngestion on a principle he’s carried through two decades in technology: security first, security always. He builds AI that runs entirely inside the customer’s walls — because for safety-critical industries, data sovereignty isn’t a feature, it’s the foundation.
Before founding CoreIngestion, Tuan served as Information Security Officer for one of Seattle’s largest human services nonprofits, protecting sensitive data for 50,000+ clients. There he led AI adoption and data governance agency-wide, commanded response on cyber incidents, and re-architected the security stack with Microsoft Purview and Defender — cutting incident rates by over 80% and reducing response time from days to minutes. He knows firsthand what it means to be accountable for data that cannot leak.
His engineering roots run deep: five years at Microsoft on a DevOps team building chargeback systems that processed millions of transactions a day, IT service with the City of Seattle, a decade as a database administrator, and hands-on experience scaling infrastructure from a single machine to multi-site operations. That combination — enterprise-scale engineering and operational security leadership — shapes how he approaches fault tree analysis: rigorous, verifiable, and deployed where the data lives.
Tuan works hands-on with early partners and the engineering team, shaping Ellie’s roadmap around the operational realities of the industries that need it most.

Veteran engineering leader with 20+ years building distributed teams across the US and Vietnam.
As CTO of CoreIngestion, Hai is the architect of Ellie — an AI-powered fault tree analysis platform built for the world’s most safety-critical industries: nuclear, aerospace, and defense — combining AI document ingestion, computer vision, and large-scale fault tree visualization.
His track record spans global scale: at GE Ventures (iDX), the venture arm of one of the world’s largest industrial companies, he led data analytics engineering for a platform ingesting data from 150+ healthcare sites worldwide. At Retrace Corporation, he directed remote teams delivering data platforms covering 1,100+ sources across 121 countries. Earlier roles include FPT Software — Vietnam’s largest IT services company — MagRabbit, and eight years training software engineers at Softech-Aptech in Da Nang.

Full-stack engineer shipping real-time systems and AI-powered features across the platform.
Chau is a full-stack engineer with six years of experience building modern web platforms across marketplace, education, e-commerce, and content domains — from database design and REST APIs to polished, animation-rich UI.
A former frontend team lead on a 60+ member education platform, Chau has shipped real-time job matching systems, LLM-powered features that cut listing-creation time, and SEO-driven products serving 20,000+ users — holding consistent 90+ Lighthouse scores across the board.

10+ years across AI, computer vision, and full-stack systems in production.
Phuong is a principal developer with over ten years of experience designing and delivering scalable systems — and a specialist in production computer vision: object detection, OCR, image annotation, and the ML workflows that turn models into shipping products.
He has built AI-driven systems end to end with YOLO, PaddleOCR, OpenCV, and CVAT — the same vision stack at the heart of Ellie — and pairs that with full-stack depth across backend APIs, AI services, responsive web apps, and cloud-native deployments. As principal developer, he sets the engineering bar for the whole platform.

Guards every release — test strategy and quality for products that must not fail.
Truong is a software engineer with a strong technical foundation and a rigorous work ethic, focused on Test & Quality Assurance — the discipline that decides whether a product merely works or can be trusted.
For safety-critical customers, quality isn't a feature — it is the product. Truong owns the test strategy, coverage, and release gates that keep Ellie stable, dependable, and ready for environments where failure is not an option.
Every pilot evaluation runs hands-on with the founding team.
