Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolDimitrie Stefanescu is the founder and CEO of Speckle, an open-source data platform transforming AEC workflows, and has spent 11 years blending architectural practice, academic research and software engineering to tackle digital design communication. He built Speckle from a Marie Curie–funded PhD project at UCL into a production-ready ecosystem adopted during a digital transformation at Arup, contributing deep full-stack work across the .NET SDK and JS server/viewer. Comfortable across architecture studios and distributed systems, he ships serialization, data-persistence and collaboration features that bridge CAD/BIM tools like Revit, Rhino and AutoCAD. Based in London and trained at TU Delft and UCL, he combines hands-on coding (and a tasteful vim joke) with domain expertise in masterplanning-to-fabrication pipelines.
