My analysis of compound complex sentence broken down. Is it correct?

Hi everyone,

I am interested in finding out if the sentence is correct and if I am correct in my analysis. If not, I would like to know where I went wrong.

Here is the sentence:

I have broken it down below:

Dependent clause: Once I have completed implementing the changes
Independent clause: I will contact you.
Coordinating conjunction: , and
Independent clause: We will schedule a remote session for you to see the finished product.
Complex sentence: Once I have completed implementing the changes, I will contact you.
Compound sentence: I will contact you, and we will schedule a remote session for you to see the finished product.
Compound Complex sentence: Once I have completed implementing the changes, I will contact you, and we will schedule a remote session for you to see the finished product.

Generally correct, except that 'implementing' is a gerund, not a participle.
