Trimble, like many large companies, participates in acquisitions. Each acquisition comes with a product and a team. During this process, acquired teams offer a mountain of potential that too often goes untapped. Our team's goal is to change that.Also, the MEP division at Trimble wants to adopt large scale inner source development. This means that on shared code bases, various teams must find it simple to switch contexts. The technology being used, patterns, code styles, cadence, and communication methods should all be as aligned as possible without smothering creativity and autonomy.My team is a platform architecture team that consists of a relative few full stack architects that must exhibit a few traits. We cannot be dogmatic about our preferred technology, patterns, or styles. We must always be open to new ideas and to explore newer technology before others. It is important to be both approachable and resolute at the same time, due to a prioritization of outcomes. And we must be familiar with the technology, patterns, and contexts that we advise the rest of the division on. We are currently most reliant on Microsoft Azure for serverless, .NET for rest services, the dotnet new commands for project templates that we provide, Angular for our front ends, and integration with Docker for local testing and builds.As of today, this has led to the following achievements. I've refactored an entire internal NuGet infrastructure to be modern, optimized, and documented. We've piloted a large Azure Function based serverless ecosystem, as well as Azure App Configuration reliance for shared cloud settings, and several Angular portals that interact with these ecosystems. And we maintain many project templates, deployed through an internal dashboard, that allow new projects to avoid the ceremony of getting aligned to the platform standards.

Using the various API's made available to us from the creators of our key software platforms, typically Autodesk, I bring the data and models together into interfaces and workflows that are more specifically suited to McKinstry as a company. This assists in tracking projects and the statuses of the content that we install and maintain. Sparing too many technical details, the languages I use most to this effect are C#, WPF(XAML), Html/CSS, and some of the old MAP API scripting. Although these are what we use most, we are not limited to these tools. To be effective at development for construction modeling and BIM, I rely on a strong background in sheet metal detailing. I've completed full detailing on projects with custom built Revit families, fabrication parts, and CADmep for fifteen years prior. This makes it is easy for me to put myself in the user's shoes. I use Adobe products for not only development, but a bit of training and promotional work as well. The key programs that I use in Adobe CC are Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere Pro, After Effects, and XD for nice UI design in development. Although it's not entirely utilitarian as the industry likes to be, users are human beings and attention to quality aesthetic is something that I have found to significantly improve not only a user's experience, but their willingness to use our user interfaces, training, and promotional tools.

Create coordination and fabrication drawings and models for commercial construction projects in Seattle, Washington and the surrounding area. This includes initial modeling using Revit, AutoCAD, and Fabrication products, and then pushing them to coordination with Navisworks.I also assist in the fine tuning of detailing and coordination processes using various software solutions such as addins for Revit, AutoCAD, and CAM, remaining adaptive with anything required to fine tune the detailing department's needs.

I provide web demonstrations of the SysQue product for contractors all over the nation to assist in their decisions regarding whether this workflow is the right fit for them.When not performing web demonstrations, I apply my understanding of the BIM process and all software involved to create videos that assist in the marketing process of these software solutions, and to educate on their respective purposes.

Mixed part time remote and part time commute detailing, coordinating sheet metal projects with Autodesk Ultimate Suite 2013, assisted in development of department standards, and worked on sheet metal drawings primarily while supplementing workload in hydronic piping, electrical, and structure.

Ran a crew fluctuating between 4-2 remote detailers to most efficiently use man hours for projects in New Mexico and Canada.I reached this position by first working as a Remote (Telecommute) detailer. I furnished coordinated models, NavisWorksfiles, and plots for projects in California, Oklahoma, New Mexico, and Canada.

Colorado Springs, Colorado Area

Successfully drafted and modeled projects all over Colorado for 3-1/2 years, using NavisWorks to coordinate with other trades and integrating with the fabrication shop for efficient duct manufacture and install.During slow times, I developed a website along with useful portal systems for file sharing. I created interactive PDF utilities such as a cut sheet which sends items to fab much like CAD does. I developed a report in Microsoft Access which interfaced with the company's accounting software to create real time reports that track the efficiency of a project on any given week, and these reports were custom tailored to the owner's specifications.

Pueblo, Colorado Area

Served an apprenticeship, mostly in the fabrication shop, and then moved on to CAD design in 2005 at Vision Mechanical. Branched into estimating and project management during slow times.

Journeyman/Detailer Certified, Hvac, Autocad, Detailing

Later moved on to teach one of the first full time CAD classes that this training facility had.
