Work Experience
R&D Team Member and BIM Automation Strategist
Ducon Industries, Dubai, United Arab Emirates
July 2024 - Present
- Develop advanced parametric Revit families and template workflows that serve as the research and
development foundation for developer-built automation plugins, including the Outdoor Kitchen
Configurator and Kitchen Counter Generator.
- Direct AI to build a Python texture pipeline generating photorealistic albedo and displacement maps
across 5 colourways, calibrated against real product samples at 5.67 pixels per millimetre.
- Lead the Enscape material realism upgrade, rebuilding the entire paver, slab and wall system library
from flat placeholder materials to photorealistic quality.
- Direct AI tools to build Dynamo and pyRevit automation workflows that increase BIM productivity.
- Consolidate 20 pergola and 12 fountain model groups into single intelligent parametric families,
achieving approximately 95 percent reduction in library clutter.
- Design, visualize and render landscape projects from concept through execution.
- Produce accurate 2D and 3D BIM construction drawings covering planting, grading and layout plans.
- Design and deliver a structured training and quality assurance programme for 8 designers, scored on
a 9-point evaluation matrix.
Interior Designer and 3D Visualizer
ASO Engineering, Egypt
December 2022 - June 2024
- Developed interior design concepts with strong functional and aesthetic value.
- Produced high-quality 3D visualizations and photorealistic renders for client presentation.
- Created precise 2D and 3D drawings for documentation and presentation.
Revit Content Creator
Advanced Parametric Modeling Tutorials, Independent
2023 - Present
- Create advanced Revit modeling tutorials that guide and train practising designers.
- Direct AI to produce custom pyRevit and Dynamo tools that improve team productivity.
Key Projects
Photoreal Texture Pipeline
- Directed AI to build a Python pipeline converting 15 photographs of cast pavers into seamless,
validated albedo and displacement maps across two bond patterns, producing 60 apparent variants from
15 source files.
Parametric Electrical Families
- Designed 3 Revit family architectures (standalone host, 5-point adaptive and line-based) absorbing
approximately 60 product SKUs across 9 categories as data rather than geometry, documented as a
38-slide technical build guideline.
BIM Workflow Standardization and Template Optimization
- Consolidated a fragmented multi-file BIM workflow into one coordinated Revit template spanning
Architectural and Electrical disciplines.
