Co-Founder & CTO
Hai Nguyen

Veteran engineering leader with 20+ years building distributed teams across the US and Vietnam.

From GE Ventures to Ellie — the architect behind the platform, and the track record it stands onRead full profileCollapse

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.

Phuong Nguyen
Lead Software Engineer
Phuong Nguyen

Engineering lead with 10+ years — AI, computer vision, and full-stack systems in production.

Ten years from computer vision to cloud-native — the engineering bar behind the platformRead full profileCollapse

Phuong is a software engineering lead 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 lead, he sets the engineering bar for the whole platform.
