Civil engineer turned software builder. Now consulting for AEC and construction-tech teams.
I've spent the last 8+ years building software for the AEC industry — Revit and AutoCAD plugins, IFC and BCF tooling, 3D CAD systems, and most recently a full platform for plywood construction. I work with senior teams on the parts of the technical stack that are hard to get right.
