Geometrid
An architect by training. Discovered coding early in the game and got drawn into design technology by the promise of automation.

A builder by passion. Found myself in a construction company specialized in delivering complex building structures. Deployed scripting skills in advanced architectural geometry development and automating the processes from file to factory to field and back, on projects such as Jewel at Changi Airport in Singapore and Bukit Jalil National Stadium in Kuala Lumpur.
An entrepreneur by pursuit. Started Geometrid with a firm belief in the efficient, transparent, and sustainable construction industry. Enabling building owners, developers, and contractors to run their projects smoothly with a tight grip on assets and information, facilitated by the software we develop. Still riding on that promise of automation and continuing to make art along the way.
