Service: Custom Engineering Tools & Workflow Automation

Focus: Autodesk Customization, Code Generation, and Pipeline Efficiency

> Overview

Engineering hours are too valuable to spend on repetitive data entry, manual drafting tasks, or copy-pasting code. I build custom, targeted software tools that bridge the gap between design, programming, and documentation. By automating the tedious elements of the project pipeline, I empower engineering teams to focus on complex problem-solving and rapid execution with zero loss in precision.

> Core Capabilities

• Autodesk Workflow Customization: Streamlining the mechanical and electrical design process by developing custom ribbons, add-ins, and automated routines (via LISP, C#, or Python) for Autodesk applications. This enforces design standards, reduces clicks, and accelerates drawing generation.
• Automated Code Generation: Eliminating human error in routine programming. I build template-driven generators—accessible via web interfaces or standalone desktop apps—that parse I/O lists and system specifications to automatically generate base PLC Ladder Logic, Structured Text, and standard Add-On Instructions.
• Dynamic Documentation Systems: Keeping documentation perfectly synced with the current build. I develop web-based platforms that automatically compile and format project specifications, operator manuals, and user guides directly from your engineering data, ensuring the final paperwork is as precise as the code.
• End-to-End Pipeline Integration: Connecting isolated data silos. Whether it's feeding estimation data directly into custom ERP modules or pushing CAD BOMs (Bills of Materials) to purchasing software, I build the middleware that makes your entire project pipeline flow seamlessly from concept to customer acceptance.

> Deliverables

Deliverables range from lightweight desktop scripts and Autodesk plugins to full-stack internal web applications hosted on your local network, complete with user access controls and centralized database management.
