Bloom

A curve grows and folds inside a disc, and the frames of its growth become a vase you can 3D print. Shape one in the browser, check it will print, and download the STL.

Organic Ring Generator

Patterns from nature grow over a ring band and become a single piece of metal. Shape one in the browser, check it against the limits of printing and casting, and download the STL.

    Earthworks volumes that recalculate the moment the geometry moves. It reads borehole logs and puts a number on how much rock sits above formation level before the price goes in.

    Automated Document Compliance

    Two FME workflows that audit an entire project document register: 17 information standards applied to every document in the CDE, then 13 further checks against the TIDPs. The first run flagged over 600 non-compliant documents, 100 duplicate TIDP entries and 3,000 unmatched codes, in under a minute.

About

I am a Digital Engineer at Taylor Woodrow in London, where I lead the GIS function within the Digital Engineering team and was appointed to Taylor Woodrow's internal Innovation Leader role. The work spans GIS and spatial data, automation in FME, computational design in Grasshopper, and BIM coordination, across highways, rail, renewables, housing and regeneration projects.

How to read it

Point at any node, or tab through them, to trace what feeds it and what it feeds. Run it to watch the data go through.
