Civil BIM Engineer · Ljubljana
Building smarter,
from site to software.
Seven years across construction sites in Pakistan and Dubai, now digitalizing the built environment at Kolektor Koling — from ISO 19650 BIM coordination to Revit add-ins, IFC pipelines and AI tools for inspection and document intelligence.
- 7+ years in construction & BIM
- 5 in-house tools shipped
- 3 countries worked in
01 — About
From setting-out on site to shipping software.
I started on site — setting out foundations in Lahore, estimating hospital structures in Gilgit-Baltistan, and running civil and MEP scopes on high-rise renovations in Dubai. That ground-level experience is still the lens I use for every model, workflow and line of code.
Today I work in the BIM & AI Department at Kolektor Koling, where I develop BIM Execution Plans, coordinate 3D/4D/5D models and build the software our teams actually use: C#/WPF Revit add-ins, Navisworks-to-IFC and browser-based federated IFC converters, Python automation, a computer-vision crack-detection system for tunnel inspection, and a RAG pipeline that lets engineers query construction documents in plain language.
I hold a European Master in BIM (BIM A+) from the University of Minho and the University of Ljubljana, and a BSc in Civil Engineering. My focus is simple: bridge traditional construction expertise with emerging technology to deliver efficient, data-driven and sustainable outcomes.
