BIM Coordinator and Electrical designer. I continue to expand my Revit capabilities and skills. I have come up with unique methods of improving speed and thoughtfulness in family creation and template setup that improve the narrative of innovation and even push BIM into the gamut of artificial intelligence of what Revit can do.

Drafted a huge industrial plant in Kingstree SC from scratch using Revit 2022 and a Leica Disto e7500i laser measuring device to record all floor plan distance and recording fire alarm device locations, that had over 60 buildings. Many buildings had multiple floors and endless platforms that made the task that much more difficult. It was a great learning capability of Revit that not many don't get to experiance.
