Summary
Paul Chater is a Director of AI Engineering with over two decades of hands-on C++ and computer graphics experience and more than a decade leading global, remote engineering teams. He has steered visualization and 3D modeling efforts across Bentley’s flagship products—MicroStation, LumenRT, Vue and PlantFactory—combining deep domain expertise with Agile delivery to ship complex subsystems on schedule. Currently focused on embedding LLM-driven, intent-based workflows into MicroStation, he champions intelligent automation that converts repetitive drafting into language-led design co-pilots. Paul pairs product-focused leadership with low-level technical fluency—he has co-authored patents, implemented core rendering and text subsystems, and still contributes as a backend/Linux tinkerer and published photographer in his spare time. Based in St Albans, he draws on an MSc in Computer Graphics to bridge research-quality graphics with pragmatic engineering and team-driven delivery.
