I've worked in the CAD world since the early 80's and have always been fascinated by creating programs to customize and supplement what CAD systems can do. I focused on complex modeling for many years and wrote many programs to automate difficult work. I was then convinced to work on Solid Edge to design its API. I then worked for Autodesk where I did the API design for Inventor and Fusion 360. I now work for myself where I do custom programming for clients to customize their CAD systems to work better for their specific workflows. You can see my old blog discussing related topics at http://blogs.autodesk.com/modthemachine and my new blog at https://EkinsSolutions.com

I also am a woodworker, avid road cyclist and perform magic for close friends and family.
