Hello, this is Firat! 
First off, Iām not a new face here (yay!) but Iām thrilled to finally get a chance to write a proper intro. 
I believe my destiny was written to engineer and develop things. This journey has many facets. First and foremost, I engineer and develop myself. This process often resembles a soup (definitely a delicious one). Itās brewed with patience, hard work, a love for reading, struggles, stress, and many smiles. Itās tough, but who said it would be easy? This process has shaped āmeā, and I must confess, Iām very proud of it. 
Secondly, I love developing the phenomenon of ābeing under a roofā. This was initiated by my professional life, investing years to become a thorough Civil-Structure Engineer & Developer, earning my BS and MS from Istanbul Tech University, and starting my Ph.D. at Ohio State University. 
Somewhere between the second and third, Iād like to highlight the developer side of myself. Even though I often wonder how this happened to me, I finally find myself going to bed with peace and happiness by knowing this was the right action to take. Yes, I am a developer too, half self-taught and half boot-camped (not an eash and short one, the one with tears and sleepless nightsā:blush:). 
During my nearly five-year academic journey at Istanbul Tech, Gebze Tech from Turkey, Ohio State University, and the National Institute of Science and Technology from the US, I gained one crucial insight: THE ONE WHO SEEKS QUALITY AND SAFETY NEEDS TO KNOW CODE! I knew it, felt it, and was hurt because of lacking it. I still donāt feel confident and never want to, as I believe that keeps the core and spirit of our development alive. 
Thirdly, my enthusiasm lies in compounding Civil-Structure-Architecture techs with automation and code-based activities. In this section, I realized - a long time ago - there is Speckle. And really, I deeply appreciate the entire Speckle Team, starting from its founders and considering every member of this team. Actively, Iād like to be in this section right now. I know thereās a lot to learn, but I have the patience, desire, and skill for this. 
Last but not least, thereās my family, my garden, my flowers, my passion for photography and creativity, my endless desire for reading, my care for my nieces and nephews, my deep and strong relationships with my friends and family members, my eggplant recipes, pizzas so on so forth. 
Hereās a tiny subset of my journey that Iāve tried to share with this great team and its contributors. As weāll hang out here a lot, Iām hoping to spend this time as fruitfully as possible. 
Cheers!

Hey there!
My name is Arvind. I worked for about 2 years as an architect in India and am now studying Architectural Computation at the Bartlett in London.
Iām currently working on a faƧade optimization problem using machine learning.
I only learnt about Speckle a couple of days ago and have been using it to shuttle data back and forth between Grasshopper and a Colab notebook to train and test my ML model. Canāt wait to dig deeper and explore other potential uses!
When Iām not working on stuff for uni, Iām painting, exploring London, and watching an unhealthy amount of D&D actual-play.
Look forward to maybe seeing some of you in person if thereās another London meet-up in the works

Hello,
My name is Jacques and I work at OIB, an office managing buildings and infrastructures in Brussels (Belgium). We manage works, moves, and lot of stuff to have people happy in the buildings (Facility Management), but all those things are managed separately, with some links between applications but not always, bidirectional but not always. Iām exploring solutions with BIM and other standards to gather the info in a central system, and connect all the parts together. I discovered Speckle very recently, itās an amazing product, hope it will fit our needs, at least partially.
As we are behind a corporate proxy and do not want having our plans and info publicly available, Iām forced to set up a local server (what I did) and explore capabilities that way.
During my free time, I take care of my family and friends of course, and I belong to the board of some local schools (about 2500 children from 3 to 18 years old), where I help developing networks, WIFI in each classroom, and so on.

Thatās fantastic! Are you using any specific software for management? Last year, I experimented with Speckle and IoT data to develop a digital twin prototype. Although it wasnāt for operational purposes, it was part of our work in testing and evaluating new construction solutions, particularly focusing on Modern Methods of Construction (MMCs).
I found Speckle to be highly effective in managing information. The primary challenge, however, lies in managing and adding data to the model, which seems to be a universal issue. If youāve already figured out an efficient way to handle this in your current system, integrating Speckle should work well for you.

Iām new in the discipline, coming from IT infrastructures, and having some experience in collecting sensor data from BMS (Building Management Systems) for energy reports. Some maintenance is managed with CarlSource and space management is done with Archibus. Works are managed in Archibus then drawed in AutoCAD and there is a connector between Archibus and AutoCAD. Now we want to go further and find a way to have one central repository for plans and all related data. Speckle is interesting in the way they connect to about everything, but I think that we should in parallel look at a BOS (like xBOS from Berkeley University, or other platforms) to manage metadata to describe the buildings, logs from sensors, and assets documentation plus ticketing. Any tip or guidance is welcome.

@Ricardo_Zepeda and @japetit, I am anticipating a strong level of use for Speckle Automate in this area.
We will see. Some functions are not available with a local server, like PowerBI visualisation that I just checked and found very interesting for reportsā¦ Unfortunately, it works currently only on Speckleās cloud server. Hope it will be ported to local server tooā¦
Hey everyone!
Iām Adriana. Originally studied Architecture in Cuba, but around 7 years back, I got into specializing in BIM methodology over in Spain, which is where Iām currently based.
Started off as a BIM Manager in smaller architecture firms, but then got the opportunity to dive into a large-scale project, which totally shifted my perspective. Now, Iām all about exploring different kinds of oportunities.
Lately, Iāve been on the hunt for a fresh challenge in my career. Thatās why Iāve been hitting the books on Python and keeping my finger on the pulse of the latest trends in the AEC industry.
When Iām not glued to the screen, you can catch me on the padel court or kicking back with friends over a beer. Cheers!

Welcome @Marc_HERMOUET !
Wow, jewelry, such an interesting use case 
Do you have any projects (aka Streams) that you can share publicly?
hello,
Not yet, I work for famous company so I canāt share their product.
But, I promise to share some classical model like diamonds RING and with the speckle add-in I could share it and everyone will be able to choose the good ring sizeā¦
And I have many other Idea to do to share usual parametric object and export direct to STL to 3D print. (like pipe fitting)ā¦

Hi there,
This is Kshitij Nashine Iām an Architect from India , interested in Bridging the gap between AEC and Tech. I started jumping between tools during my masters in Computational Design since each tools has its unique capabilities. Iām also the 7th architect in my family which made me realize the requirement of penetration of tech in AEC at a very early stage. I developed several workflows to optimize project management and early stage conceptual design processes.
Currently Iām in the first semester of my Phd (part-time) at Structural Engineering Dept, VNIT, India.
Iāll be focusing on Facade and Structural Topology optimization for High rise buildings. Iām Currently learning python to use scientific machine learning for my research.
Iām Excited to be a part of the community and wish to meet you all in person too.

Hello all,
My name is Arniek, and I am a Dutch student currently working on a graduate project at hz university of applied sciences. My research focuses on improving data exchange and collaboration between different software packages in the construction industry, and I am specifically interested in using Speckle as a possible solution to these challenges.
In the increasingly digital world of construction engineering and architecture, it is essential to be able to efficiently communicate and exchange data between different disciplines and software platforms. I believe Speckle can be a valuable tool to streamline these processes and improve collaboration.
I am currently exploring Speckleās capabilities and how it can be implemented in practice, with the goal of optimizing Bouwraadhuis processes. Through this forum, I hope to learn more about others experiences with Speckle and gain any tips or insights that may enrich my research.
I look forward to engaging with all of you and discovering more about the possibilities of Speckle!

Hi everyone,
My name is Gabriel (Gabe), and Iām a 3D modeler at a family-owned full-service company based in Zurich, Switzerland. Currently, my main focus is on acquisitions and competitions, which has sparked a keen interest in interoperability and exploring new ways to streamline communication and data management. I spend a lot of time working with ArchiCAD and PowerBI.
In parallel, Iām pursuing a degree in Digital Construction in Architecture at the Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts. Iām excited to wrap up my thesis this summer, which delves into CO2 and cost monitoring using graph databases. Itās quite thrilling, even though my programming skills are still a work in progress.
Iām looking forward to engaging with the community and exploring the new possibilities that Speckle opens up for us.
Best wishes,
Gabriel
PS: this was me last summer, hiking in the swiss mountains
