I was about to take my qualifying exam to become a registered architect when, in 1979, the firm I was working for got its first CAD system. I saw the amazing potential for CAD in architecture and I decided at that time to dedicate my life's work to the productive use of CAD in architecture. As you will see on my resume, I am now an architectural CAD expert with a strong background in rendering and graphic communication.
The top ten things that I can do for your company:
1. I can produce architectural construction documents in less time than your fastest draftsman.
2. I can create 3D computer models from your design sketches faster and more accurately than you can now.
3. I can provide your clients with photo-realistic computer renderings and animations that you can rely on as being accurate representations of your proposed building designs.
4. I can increase your people’s productivity on AutoCAD by writing custom AutoLISP programs to customize the CAD system for their specific needs.
5. I can further increase productivity by furnishing custom software training on AutoCAD, Revit, ShetchUp, 3D Studio MAX, and Photoshop among others.
6. I can insure a standard look to all of your office documents while streamlining your office document workflow by creating and implementing CAD/BIM standards and procedures for use by all users.
7. I can increase inter-office standards compliance and decrease the time required to generate drawings by producing custom AutoCAD Blocks and Revit families and show production people better detail techniques.
8. I can lessen production delays by troubleshooting issues with respect to computer aided design.
9. I can keep your office running smoothly by solving problems with printers and plotters, translations between different CAD software packages, and CAD file management issues.
10. I can save your firm money on hardware and software purchases by evaluating your current equipment and any potential hardware and software purchases. I can help guard you from being oversold by any given sales/dealer/VAR retailer.
I am currently seeking a new permanent, full-time position in a stable design firm where I can participate in the company’s future success.
