DYNAMO & CODING

Visual Programming and Coding. 2017

- present

As an Architectural Designer, BIM Manager, and Design Technologist, I have extensive experience utilizing computational design tools such as Dynamo, Python, Autodesk GD, and Grasshopper. For over 10 years, I have used these tools in both academic and professional settings, collaborating with teams of designers, architects, and engineers on various projects such as form-finding, model analyses, automation, interoperability, and standardization.

The projects featured here demonstrate my expertise in planning, producing, and documenting graphs and workflows, as well as my ability to collaborate directly with clients. They showcase my technical skills and my capacity to deliver highquality outcomes that meet users’ expectations.

Area Boundary Generator Dynamo graph and Dynamo Player UI, created for a architectural client. In this iteration, the graph grouped rooms by Department and proximity and generated both the Area Boundary and Area elements based on user-defined settings accessed in Dynamo Player.

Reset Connectors with Exceptions Dynamo graph and Data-Shapes UI pop-ups created in collaboration with a MEP client. My role in the project involved improving an existing client-made graph by adding new features and creating a set of pop-ups. These enhancements provide users with more flexibility to determine the placement of new model elements.

Add new and replace obsolete shared parameters graph and DMU add-in by BirdTools. This workflow was designed to QA/QC Shared Parameters among multiple Revit documents. The Dynamo graph add/replace any missing or mismatching shared parameters to ensure coordination with the official SP file, while also transferring any data from old to new parameters to ensure no data is lost.

Furthermore, the graph has been optimized to run seamlessly with the Dynamo Multiplayer add-in, enabling it to execute across multiple documents consecutively.
