I'm a Civil Engineer and Steel Detailer at Infinity Steel, working on international projects across the USA and Saudi Arabia. Alongside my detailing career, I've self-taught C# and the Tekla Open API to build the automation tools I wished existed on the job.
Over time, those personal tools became 11 commercially published applications under the AZ Dev brand — covering everything from material nesting and clash management to CAD-to-model creation and SolidWorks export.
11 commercial tools — each solving a real problem on the job
Numbers from production use, not benchmarks.

Full walkthroughs for each application
Every tool starts the same way: a real bottleneck I hit on a real job. Here's how each one ships.
A real Tekla model, a real deadline, a repetitive step that wastes hours. That's the brief.
C# + Tekla Open API. Use it on the active project. Iterate until it saves more time than it costs.
WPF UI, error handling, edge cases. Test across Tekla 2017 – 2026. Document.
Public release, license management, 15-day trial. Every customer's feedback rolls back into v2.
Executing international projects (USA & Saudi Arabia), coordinating with BIM teams, and building automation tools with the Tekla Open API in parallel with daily detailing work.
Led infrastructure projects and logistics management, developing strong team leadership and project coordination skills.
Graduated with "Very Good" grade (ranked 30th). Excellent grade on Steel Industrial Building graduation project.
"It's working great now. You're a legend!"
"AZ Reports is perfect now."
"Also just tried out your AZ Reports app… very very good idea."
Open to collaboration, freelance projects, and new opportunities.
Tell me your workflow pain. I'll build the tool — or extend an existing one — and ship a working version you can use the same week.
