Technology & Product

Schedule Optimization

Core Innovation: Developed novel differentiable optimization algorithm for project scheduling

• Designed and implemented from scratch a differentiable optimization approach for project scheduling problems
• Transformed traditionally non-differentiable schedule optimization into a differentiable problem using computational graphs, making project properties (duration, cost) differentiable with respect to optimization parameters
• Applied gradient descent and backpropagation inspired by neural network training to large-scale project optimization
• Engineered mathematical solutions for handling discrete scenarios in project scheduling
• This approach overcomes limitations of traditional derivative-free optimization methods when handling large parameter spaces

Maintenance Scheduling

• Modeled tank maintenance scheduling as Mixed Integer Linear Programming problem
• Used existing optimization libraries with Branch and Cut algorithm
• Implemented scenario analysis with random delay simulations
• Built interactive visualization for Gantt charts and maintenance distribution

Overrun Forecasting

• Used OpenAI's embedding models for NLP vectorization of task names
• Implemented HDBSCAN clustering algorithm for grouping similar tasks
• Applied cosine similarity for task assignment to clustered groups
• Built statistical forecasting using duration overrun ratios

AI-Assisted Planning

• Used OpenAI's GPT models for task generation (structured output)

Technical Note: The schedule optimization engine represents original algorithm development, while other systems leverage existing libraries and algorithms with custom integration and application to domain-specific problems.
