Motto

Machines should handle the mundane, while minds create the remarkable.

You didn’t choose your career to be a human calculator or paper-pusher – you’re here to make your mark on the world.

In this digital age, your skills and creativity are too valuable to waste on repetitive tasks that machines can handle better. It’s time to reclaim your role as an innovator and problem-solver who truly moves the industry forward.

Software Developer

Process automation, data wrangling, system integration within AEC ecosystem.

Educator

It’s hard to learn new skills. You should focus on your core by learning from the mistakes of others.

Knowledge Elicitation

Converting hidden expertise into explicit, structured knowledge through empathy and mutual understanding.

Engineer

Anchored in physics and human potential, I apply engineering expertise to solve what matters most in AEC.

Public speaker

Sharing is caring

After years in the construction industry, I’ve discovered my true calling: sharing insights about the revolutionary changes reshaping our field. From sustainable building practices to cutting-edge technologies, there’s an urgent need for voices that can bridge the gap between traditional methods and innovative solutions.

Each presentation is more than just sharing information—it’s about inspiring fellow professionals to embrace change and shape the future of construction together.
