Computational Design Expert | Grasshopper - Scripting / CNC / 3d Print
I don't just model it — I engineer it for reality. I am a FabAcademy Alumni and Computational Design Lead with 15+ years of experience. My background isn't just in design; it's in managing the machines that build it and the algorithms that optimize it. Whether you need a complex parametric façade, an organic form optimized for CNC, or a 3D scan converted into a pristine model, I am your end-to-end solution. 🏆 WHY CLIENTS HIRE ME (REAL WORLD EXPERIENCE) Most designers deliver messy meshes that break machines. I deliver buildable art. Museo Soumaya Façade: Part of the initial design team for the geometric rationalization of the iconic hex-grid structure. Mayan Warrior (Burning Man 2025): Immersive installation featuring 3,500 precision CNC elements. Azulik / Roth Architecture: Former Coordinator of the Digital Fabrication Lab. Geometrica Encyclopedia: Author of a comprehensive taxonomy on parametric topological forms. I don't guess. I calculate. 🛠️ CORE SERVICES 1. Complex Parametric & Organic Design Rationalization: Using Kangaroo Physics to planarize double-curved surfaces (turning expensive geometry into cost-effective panels). Generative Design: Topology Optimization to reduce weight/material while keeping structural integrity. 2. Digital Fabrication & DFM (Design for Manufacturing) CNC Strategy: Clean vectors & G-Code for 2, 3, and 4-axis machining. Nesting: Algorithms to minimize material waste. Assembly Logic: Smart joints ("dogbones", friction fits) and clear labeling systems for headache-free assembly. 3. Reverse Engineering (Scan-to-Model) Point Clouds: Processing photogrammetry data into clean, editable NURBS surfaces. Feasibility Audits: Fixing non-manifold edges and "bad geometry" before production. 💻 TECHNICAL TOOLKIT Core: Rhino 8 + Grasshopper (Advanced Logic, Python Scripting). Interoperability: Fluent in SolidWorks, Fusion 360, 3ds Max, Maya. (Seamless integration with engineering teams). Rendering: KeyShot (High-end visualization). THE "INSTRUCTOR" ADVANTAGE As a long-time technical instructor, I communicate clearly. No confusing jargon—just precise diagrams, clean files, and organized emails your entire team can understand. 👉 Ready to build the impossible? Click the green "Invite" button.
