What I'm looking for

I'm looking to apply Revit, DfMA, and C# automation skills to improve modular design workflows, fabrication accuracy, material efficiency, and construction delivery.

I'm currently designing repeatable framing systems at By Design Group, creating quantity takeoffs, material costing, and modular designs optimized for structured reuse. I also build C# framing solutions for timber, SIPs, and light gauge steel walls.

Previously at Urban Splash Modular, I delivered Revit construction and fabrication packs for volumetric builds, assembly schedules, and file architectures that reduced layout redundancy. I supported waste reduction through data-driven linear cutting profiles.

Across timber frame, residential, agricultural, and modular construction, I've produced CNC-ready fabrication drawings, Bills of Materials, Building Regulations submissions, and detailed CAD packs. I use C# and the Revit API to automate dimensioning, filtering, cleanups, and cut-list optimization.
