Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAlan Vidal is a Senior Software Engineer specializing in CAD and computational geometry with eight years of experience bridging building engineering and software development to transform design-to-fabrication workflows. Proficient in C#, TypeScript, and Python, he has built and maintained core Speckle SDKs and connectors (Revit, Rhino, Grasshopper, Dynamo, AutoCAD) and contributed viewer geometry conversions that improve cross-application interoperability. He combines hands-on construction project experience—from concept sketches to handover—with algorithmic design and automation to solve industry-specific geometry and data-exchange challenges. A seasoned open-source contributor and educator, he has codified CI/CD and coding standards for connector ecosystems and taught parametric design and collaborative workflows at UPC and MPDA Barcelona Tech. Based in Barcelona, he’s currently advancing connectivity and data ownership in AEC through his work at Speckle and Dandy, often surfacing elegant geometric solutions that few software engineers with construction backgrounds can match.
