Senior🎓
Top SchoolSayjel Patel is a Co-Founder and CTO with 8 years of experience at the intersection of architecture, urban design, and software-driven AEC solutions, currently leading Digital Blue Foam from Singapore while based in Canada. Trained at MIT (MArch) and University of Waterloo, he blends academic rigour—former Assistant Professor at Dubai Institute of Design and Innovation and part-time lecturer at Waterloo—with hands-on product and research roles across MIT, SUTD, and global architecture firms. He focuses on translating complex city and organizational visions into practical digital tools that address process and data gaps rather than mere conceptual design. As a board member of MIT Architecture Alumni and a serial research collaborator, he brings a networked, interdisciplinary approach to CTO leadership and product strategy. Notably, his background as both a practicing architect and research technologist gives him uncommon fluency in spatial computation, enabling pragmatic tech solutions for AEC workflows.
