At Plus Design Asia, I lead aluminium windows and doors estimating operations for Australian commercial projects using Soft Tech V6 and Logikal.

Previously, at Bull Group Australia, I used CellBim to validate quantities from IFC models and developed Excel automation for steel estimating. At Vincent Buda & Co., I built Excel tools for takeoffs and costs and automated door-frame drawings in AutoCAD.
