About
I am a specialist in developing and optimizing advanced dynamic blocks in AutoCAD. I passionately apply this expertise to assist companies in updating and implementing their standard detailing across the full spectrum of business operations. I possess exceptional skills in encapsulating a vast array of complex content into a library of accessible, intelligent drawing tools that can be utilized as early as the design phase.
As a Domain Expert in AutoCAD Dynamic Blocks and Workflow Standardization, I focus on streamlining CAD workflows through smart, efficient, and structured data. The primary objective is to minimize ‘losses’ resulting from inefficiencies in existing workflows.
Skills related to the development and implementation of dynamic blocks:
Analyzation;
• Gathering information on the current standard detailing within a company and gaining a deep understanding of the subject matter.
• Maintaining direct contact with designated representatives from various departments to ensure expectations remain central.
Preparation;
• Organizing the material.
• Compressing the material.
• Creating a sketch design.
Development;
• Building advanced dynamic blocks.
• Adding parameters (Point, Linear, Polar, XY, Rotation, Alignment, and Flip) along with their corresponding Actions.
• Incorporating Attributes, Fields, Visibility States, Lookup Tables, and the Block Properties Table.
• Proficiency in Chained parameters, User parameters, and Constraints.
Organization;
• Implementing consistent naming conventions.
• Integrating the developed dynamic blocks into an organized library.
• Customizing Tool Palettes and Workspaces.
Implementation;
• Training team members.
• Presenting new developments.
• Processing feedback.
Maintenance;
• Incorporating updates and managing ongoing administration.

Experience
- Draftsman / Automation & Development Vogelzang Dakelementen · Part-time Jun 2024 – Present 1 yrs 11 mos Dedemsvaart, OV, Netherlands At Vogelzang Dakelementen, I started as a technical draftsmen/designer. This involved the project-based elaboration of various complete roof structures and accessories into a full design. The first three months I was introduced to the drafting room in preparation for the Automation & Development department. Currently (to date), I am improving workflows within the drafting room by developing the library of dynamic blocks. I ensure that draftsmen can utilize ready-to-use tools during the design phase that are simultaneously functional and up-to-date.
- Estimation & Work Preparation for Wooden Window Frames Brandhof de Meern · Full-time Jan 2022 – Apr 2024 2 yrs 3 mos Utrecht, UT, Netherlands At Brandhof de Meern, I primarily focused on estimation and work preparation. This involved a considerable amount of drafting work. In addition to these responsibilities, I had the opportunity to explore the capabilities that Dynamic Blocks offer in AutoCAD at this company. During my employment at this carpentry factory, I further developed and improved the existing library of blocks.
- Production / Estimation / Work Preparation for Plastic Window Frames De Waal Kozijnen · Full-time Feb 2018 – Dec 2021 3 yrs 10 mos Veen, NB, Netherlands I started as a production worker in the plastic window frames department during the first three months of my employment at this company. Subsequently, I advanced to the estimation department, and eventually, I also prepared several projects for production.
- Carpenter Timmerwerkplaats Finesse · Part-time Aug 2013 – Jul 2017 3 yrs 11 mos Zutphen, GE, Netherlands Carrying out production and assembly tasks. Manufacturing windows, doors, and frames from Accoya (a type of wood). Working with traditional machines such as the thickness planer and the panel saw. I performed these duties alongside my studies (Building Engineering).
Education
- Windesheim zwolle Bachelor of Applied Science (BASc), Building Engineering 2012 – 2016 Activities and Societies: During the third year of study, I completed the Minor in Structural Design with a focus on concrete, steel, and timber structures.
