Revit Plugin for Model Audit

I conceived and realized this modular plugin for Revit audits the BIM model against several tests. It makes the BIM coordinator's life easy by performing many different checks with one click. The plugin also allows clients to request different custom modules that will be seamlessly incorporated into the plugin core. The solution also includes functionalities that can make the model requirement compliant in only one click.

Revit Exporter

This Revit plugin exports the model 3D geometries and metadata for the in-house augmented reality device. As a part of a team of 10, I was responsible for reengineering the solution to improve the maintainability, scalability, extensibility, and performance, as well as bringing my experience from the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry to plan which new features to be developed are the most effective and to discover potential pitfalls.

AAI Revit Tools

I have developed several Revit tools to facilitate the daily staff work with functions that are not from Revit OOTB. In collaboration with the BIM Management team of five experts, productivity has improved in certain tasks from 40% to 90%, reducing errors by up to 99%. Many of these tools are still in use after years.

RPA Blue Prism Processes

The client was a multinational corporation with many internal key business workflows performed by robotic process automation (RPA). As a part of the A&M team of six professionals, I was responsible for ensuring the processes were always up and running, especially during the accountability period when it was strictly important that all the required processes run correctly. I refactored a few of the most defective ones, which gained a reliability of 99%.
