Enterprise Design & Engineering Software Platform

Built cloud automation between Autodesk Cloud and Revit/Civil 3D, enhanced the Integrated Carbon sustainability platform, and developed the Workflow Advisory enterprise platform for digital transformation.

Company Context

A global software company providing design, engineering, and construction tools used by architects, engineers, and infrastructure teams worldwide. Products include industry-standard platforms for 3D modeling, civil engineering, construction management, and sustainability analysis.

What Our Scale Partnership Revealed

Autodesk Cloud and their desktop tools (Revit, Civil 3D) operated as separate environments — engineers were managing file movement manually with no automated synchronization path.
The Integrated Carbon sustainability platform had no mechanism to automatically pull updated data from Autodesk's own sustainability APIs — teams were working with stale carbon analysis data.
Large Revit and Civil 3D files couldn't be rendered in web browsers at all, forcing users to open heavyweight desktop applications for any web-initiated review workflow.
The Workflow Advisory platform had no notification system — users had no signal when workflow states changed or actions were required.
Testing was primarily manual across three platform tracks.

Engineering Work

Built the automation module connecting Autodesk Cloud with Revit and Civil 3D — engineers can now trigger synchronized workflows between cloud and desktop without manual file handling.
Implemented automated background jobs that continuously pull and synchronize sustainability data from Autodesk APIs.
Built browser-based visualization for large Revit and Civil 3D files — users can review complex engineering models in the web platform without opening desktop applications.
Built real-time notification system for the Workflow Advisory platform.
Built comprehensive automated testing: E2E with Playwright, API load testing with JMeter, unit testing with Vitest.

System Outcome

Cloud-to-desktop automation enabled — engineering workflows that required manual file management are now automated.
Sustainability platform always reflects current data — no more stale carbon analysis from manual sync gaps.
Large engineering files viewable in browser — removed the requirement to open Revit or Civil 3D for web-initiated reviews.
Workflow Advisory platform now alerts users in real-time.
Automated test coverage across three platforms — improved release confidence and reduced production defect risk.

Engineering Breakdown+

Cloud-Desktop Automation: Built an integration layer that monitors cloud-side triggers and executes synchronized operations with Revit and Civil 3D via their respective APIs. Handles large file transfers with chunked upload/download and resumable operations.

Browser File Visualization: Used WebGL-based rendering pipeline to convert Revit/Civil 3D file formats into browser-renderable geometry. Implemented progressive loading so large models display incrementally rather than blocking on full parse.

Background Data Sync: Scheduled job architecture with retry logic and change detection — only pulls delta updates from Autodesk sustainability APIs rather than full refreshes, keeping sync fast and API quota efficient.
