Architect by training.
Technologist
by obsession.

I'm Sanel, an architect who ended up in tech long before AI made it fashionable. I taught myself to code because the tools I needed didn't exist, and somewhere along the way building those tools became the work itself. Today I lead project delivery and R&D, working on problems that live in the gap between how buildings get made and how software gets built.

Architecture and technology are separate disciplines. I just happen to speak both languages, which turns out to be useful. I build software and tools for architects, translate messy domain problems into systems that actually work, and spend a lot of time thinking about how technology changes the spaces we live in, not just the processes we use to design them.

On the AI side, I build intelligent systems across all kinds of domains and industries, not just architecture. The interesting questions don't stop at one field. Within architecture specifically, I'm drawn to modular and prefabricated construction, generative design, and the tension between vernacular tradition and what we actually need today.

I'm also deep into BIM, not as a buzzword but as the full lifecycle proposition it was always meant to be. From 3D geometry through to 7D facility management, the real value is in how that data flows through every phase of a building's life.
