Hello everyone! 
Björn here. I have just joined the wonderful Speckle team as Solutions Architect! 
My background is in Structural Engineering 
where I was exposed to manual repitive workflows, and large amounts of semantic data which accompanied some truly amazing geometric forms.
I embarked on a journey to do things better. This started out with learning good old Python 
(shoutout to YouTube at this point). Hitting that run button in Python and seeing things happen automatically in ETABS and Excel (yes, structural engineers love Excel) was a truly satisfying moment. From that moment on I was hooked. The onward journey was wild and eventful and has led me here, Speckle, the definition of interoperability.
I’m super excited to be here, let’s make the AEC better!

Hello!
I’m Michal, and I’ve just joined the Speckle team as a product designer.
Before joining Speckle, I was a design lead at Archilogic, where I helped build a platform to keep floor plans up-to-date in the most human way. Since then, my interest in designing within the AEC problem space has continued to grow, and I’m really excited to continue this journey at Speckle.
I live in Poland. I’m a dad and a two-wheels enthusiast in real life. So when I’m not working, I prefer staying outdoors, usually riding a drop-bar bike on unpaved roads and trails or honing my enduro motorbiking skills.

Hi everyone!
My name is Luqman, but you can call me Luke. I’m from Malaysia. Has anyone here been to Malaysia before? The food here is amazingly good, haha. I work as a BIM Modeler here in Malaysia.
I just discovered Speckle earlier this year and have been quietly reading and studying as a guest. I hope to learn more and more here. And yes, thank you so much for creating Speckle. I really appreciate it.

Hi everyone,
I’m excited to join the Speckle community! My name is Òscar, and I’m originally from Valencia, but currently living in Dublin. I work as a structural modeler using Revit, and I’m also studying for a BSc Hons in Digital Construction (BIM) at TU Dublin.
In my free time, I enjoy reading, watching movies, listening to music, and going for walks. I used to be a big football fan, but now I just follow my Valencia CF 
I’m particularly interested in researching interoperability between Revit and structural analysis software. Looking forward to learning and sharing knowledge with all of you!

Hello!
My name is Jesse Dombowsky, I am a BIM Manager, Architectural Technologist, self taught Software Developer, and Entrepreneur. I am a Canadian and recently became a Kiwi as well, I expect to be living abroad in the near future, expanding my BIM and architectural expertise while continuing to develop software in my spare time.
I also have a YouTube channel where I teach people how to use Revit, just look up Jesse Dombowsky. I want to help people learn how to create quality 3D content so that we can use it in speckle better.
I have recently found Speckle and I am blown away, this is incredible work! I was trying to use Unity’s methods of converting content from Revit and was increasingly frustrated with the half baked solution that are IFC’s. Speckle is clearly a superior method of sharing 3D Architectural and Engineering data.
I love Augmented Reality and any new technologies that can help us communicate better.
Thank you very much for developing this, I expect to be very active in this forum. I am very happy to be here!

Hey everyone,
I’m Manu from beautiful Hamburg in Germany, currently working as a BIM manager in the railway infrastructure industry. As an openBIM / openSource / openData enthusiast I love the concept of Speckle and I am keen on exploring it together with you. My current focus is on the assessment of circularity and lifecycle emissions of railway infrastructure. I am not a software developer and therefore all the more proud of every bit of code i write that actually works - making me feel like a superhero. 
Apart from that, you’ll find me on the water, kitesurfing in the North Sea 
, or doing what all 30yrs+ old people in Hamburg seem to do: race biking 
Cheers!

Hi everyone,
I’m Dávid, and I’ve recently joined Speckle as a Software Engineer. I live in Hungary, near to Budapest.
Like many at Speckle, I originally trained as an architect. I enjoy problem-solving and design. During my architecture studies, I discovered visual scripting through Grasshopper, which sparked my interest in coding. I started teaching myself C++ and JavaScript, and eventually decided to pursue a career in software engineering, earning a degree from the Budapest University of Technology and Economics. Early in my career, I worked on ArchiCAD development and created smaller add-ons for AutoCAD, Revit, and ArchiCAD, focusing on automation and efficiency improvements, helping engineers in the AEC industry.
I’m a big fan of AI, self-driving cars, and reusable rockets. When I’m not at my computer, you’ll likely find me cycling (probably around Lake Balaton, my favourite spot in Hungary) or hiking somewhere. I also enjoy making my own pálinka, Hungary’s national fruit brandy.

Ahoy there Speckle community!
The names Neil, an Architect from Cornwall, UK. I studied and worked in London and now live in the Cotswolds and work in Gloucester.
I love the outdoors, trail running the Gloucestershire hills, hiking mountains, cycling or swimming. A recent trip to Sicily has confirmed my love for swimming in the Mediterranean where I dream of that body of water as a conduit for it’s rich and diverse connection to our beautiful cultures!

Hi All!
I’m Wesley and I work at Pixelpool (www.pixelpool.com) as a 3D Technical Lead. In my spare time I consider myself as an allround Unreal Engine generalist.
At Pixelpool our main (realtime) rendering software is Unreal. A lot of input delivered by our clients are based of their own Sketchup models.
That’s what brought me to Speckle!!!
I hope it can assist in our workflow at Pixelpool.
In my spare time I’m building VR experiences in Unreal, like to ride my motorcycle and hop on the playstation 5
Cheers!

Hi everyone,
I’m Thorben, and I work at specter automation, where I’m focused on how BIM and 3D models can improve construction workflows during execution on-site. It’s fascinating to be part of a solution that’s more agile and tailored to onsite execution than traditional software like Revit.
Outside of work, I enjoy gaming, tech gadgets, and 3D printing, and I’m always up for an outdoor adventure, whether hiking or cycling.
If anyone’s curious about specter (our customers are typically GCs who want to seamlessly combine short-term interval planning with VDC) or just wants to chat, feel free to reach out!
Best regards,
Thorben

Welcome, @Wesley and @Thorben. I would love to hear how your commercial success can be improved with Speckle adoption. Keep in touch, and we’ll try to multiply your efforts in the adoption, particularly if you need help engaging a supply chain.
Welcome also to @nadixon. When I first scanned your I fondly remembered childhood holidays in Cornwall but didn’t quite map that memory to the photo - rereading properly made more sense 
Hi everyone,
My name is Michael, I am a tech nerd, structural engineer and strategist. I am not a coder but appreciate those that do. I joined Speckle as I know it is the future. In my free time I like to hike with my family.
Our start up Qnect automates steel connection modeling/design/QC in both Tekla and Revit. We are extending our optimization to not just factor in code checking, constructability and cost but also carbon. We don’t want to reinvent the wheel so want to explore Speckle’s data visualization of embodied carbon of structural designs. The goal is to plug our specific workflows for steel connections into existing carbon “design” workflows. Using common data analytics that have amazing UXs and are industry standards will make it easier for designers to reduce carbon in their designs and convince their clients to do so!
Any advice or guidance for who to connect with about this is appreciated.
Michael

You’ll be a bit far away to join us in person at SpeckleCon. Still, several presentations and workshops cover the carbon analysis tools others have been building with the data residing in Speckle. A dream team of @dogukan and @bjoern will be happy to hear from you and help Qnect connect the dots.

Hello Specklers
Despite being familiar and using speckle for a while have not introduced myself.
I am Evan, an architect originally form Greece. After living and working in different places across the globe I ended up living in Switzerland. I am working as a researcher for the Zurich University of Applied Sciences (ZHAW) and I also do my own project with Topotheque a small studio which engages with various aspects of computational design. When I am not working I like hitting the slopes, going around places and taking photos and drawing.
I really believe Speckle is up to something great and is truly pushing some boundaries in a bottom up way. Happy to be part of the this community and nice to e-meet everyone!
