About

Ekasith Kowcharoen (“Kowz”) is a civil engineer specialising in construction management and a developer focused on digital twins and applied AI. He completed his M.Eng at Kasetsart University — publishing peer-reviewed research in MDPI Buildings on computer-vision PPE detection — and is now a PhD candidate continuing that work. Today he leads the platform, AI, and project-management effort on a Digital Twin study of EGAT’s high-voltage substations. Before tech, he was a national Blade & Soul esports champion (Team 200IQ), and he brings that same competitive discipline to engineering.
