SafeStaff Agentic GCP

A focused Google Cloud extension of the original SafeStaff AI Google × Kaggle capstone. The full SafeStaff platform combines ER wait-time forecasting with end-to-end nurse-staffing decision support; this prototype validates one governed slice of that workflow: structured staffing-plan generation, specialist-agent review, safe failure handling, and final human approval using Google ADK and Gemini on Vertex AI.

SafeStaff Shift Commander

A focused WebMCP integration extension of the original SafeStaff AI Google × Kaggle capstone. Rather than recreating the complete ER forecasting and staffing platform, it exposes SafeStaff's shift-planning action through explicit website tools so AI agents can request a reliable staffing plan while preserving human review of recommendations.

BedFlow Command AI

A focused command-center extension of the broader BedFlow AI hospital-operations workflow, built for the AI Builders Hackathon 2026. Rather than recreating the complete platform, this prototype concentrates on simulated discharge-flow pressure, patient prioritization, operational blockers, and coordinated human review to help reduce ED boarding and capacity bottlenecks.

Decision Making by AI

In complex operational environments, humans are constantly bombarded with dynamic, messy data. The real challenge isn't just generating an accurate forecast—it's translating that forecast into safe, actionable decisions under pressure.

AI in Healthcare

In hospitals, decisions carry life-or-death consequences. Whether it's prioritizing patients in a crowded ER, adjusting nurse staffing to prevent burnout and ensure safety, or managing critical medical supplies, AI serves as an intelligent "control tower." By evaluating clinical acuity, wait times, and supply chain signals, AI agents can recommend specific actions, escalate risks, and generate auditable documentation—always keeping the human clinician in the final loop.

AI in Industry & Warehousing

For industrial and warehouse logistics, the focus shifts to efficiency, cost-control, and labor optimization. Machine learning predicts volume spikes and workflow bottlenecks. Decision-support agents then evaluate these forecasts against business logic to recommend voluntary time off (VTO) or extra time (VET), optimizing labor spend while maintaining throughput.

AI in Critical Infrastructure & Energy

Managing power grids and utility networks requires balancing fluctuating demand with absolute stability. AI agents can monitor grid health, forecast load spikes, and recommend preventative maintenance or load-shedding strategies—ensuring uptime and safety in critical infrastructure.

The common thread: Whether managing a hospital ER, a busy fulfillment center, or a power grid, the underlying technology is the same. By synthesizing data, applying deterministic safety guardrails, and using agents to coordinate logic, we build transparent systems that empower human operators rather than replacing them.

The Core AI Engine

Core AI engine connecting healthcare, warehouse logistics, and grid energy operations

By unifying data streams from clinical demand, warehouse states, and grid and energy signals, the centralized AI engine acts as a common decision layer across critical operations. It converts forecasts, near-real-time telemetry, and scenario stressors into explainable recommendations—supporting staffing decisions, replenishment actions, and grid-risk responses from one governed AI core.

A continuous feedback loop ensures that every recommendation—whether produced by predictive analytics, deterministic rules, or multi-agent reasoning—and every human override is logged, reviewed, and used to improve future performance. The result is a transparent, auditable operating model for healthcare, logistics, and energy environments.

About Me

Wil Low

Applied AI & Machine Learning Engineer

The capstones and prototypes above are not disconnected experiments—they are modern extensions of systems I have worked on throughout a 30-year technology career. My earliest research included neural-network and load-forecasting work for electrical power operations during my PhD, where I explored how predictive models and rule extraction could support complex operational decisions long before today’s AI platforms existed.

That foundation developed into enterprise software engineering with Visual Basic, VB.NET, ASP.NET, SQL Server, and Windows Services. I helped build and support applications used within major healthcare environments, translating operational requirements into reliable systems that ran behind critical business and clinical workflows.

Today, I am re-engineering those same classes of real-world problems with machine learning, retrieval-augmented generation, expert rules, explainable forecasting, and multi-agent reasoning. The result is a portfolio that connects my past experience in energy, healthcare, enterprise applications, and operations with a new generation of human-governed AI decision systems—systems designed not simply to predict, but to recommend, debate, document, and safely support action.
