Sahil is a construction domain professional, now a Masters student at Stanford in Civil & Environmental Engineering department, pursuing Sustainable Design and Construction (SDC) program. Previously he has worked as a VDC engineer and helped construction teams solve problems on site using technology.
Sahil is keen on technology venture creation and has experience of intra-organization as well as independent venture in the field for AECO (Architect/Engineer/Contractor/Owner). He has lead more than 100 BIM projects, trained teams of sizes 15-20 people for various BIM services. He believes in building a people driven culture.
In the long run, Sahil wants to ace in the field of AECO by creating technology for construction which is field accessible. He believes that building modeling and digitization is an important step for such technologies to flourish. Feel free to talk to him about any such ideas or seek help in building modeling & digitization for construction & design.
