About
I help architecture, BIM, and engineering teams build reliable Revit plugins, Autodesk add-ins, and CAD automation tools that remove repetitive drafting work and make daily production faster.
My core background is C++, C#, .NET, AutoCAD plugins, Revit add-ins, Civil3D automation, ObjectARX, and AutoLISP. I focus on practical tools that fit inside the real workflow of designers, modelers, and engineers, not tools that look good in a demo but are hard to use every day.
A few relevant examples from my background:
> I worked on CAD-related desktop tools that extracted information from STEP/CAD files and converted geometry into structured engineering data. This helped reduce manual checking and made technical review much faster.
> I also worked on Autodesk plugin-style tools, including an AutoCAD plugin for CFD-related workflows around openings such as doors and windows. The goal was simple: reduce repetitive drafting steps and give engineers cleaner, faster model preparation.
If you need a developer who understands both software engineering and CAD/BIM workflow, I would be glad to discuss your Revit plugin requirements and suggest a clear technical approach.
