Massimo Romanato, computational designer & AEC software developer: design, automate, produce.

I develop software for AEC, turning geometry into parametric drawings, BIM models, schedules and toolpaths for digital fabrication and robotics.

  • I explore design options early through form finding and physics-based simulation.

  • I optimise structure and material and resolve every detail for assembly.

  • I build custom plugins and standalone apps, desktop or web, around your workflow, developed with AI and MCP.

  • I take geometry straight to CNC machines and robots, with no manual redrawing.

  • I teach Rhino and Grasshopper to architecture and engineering teams.

Profile

Architectural engineer by training, computational designer by trade.

Based in Milan, I have worked for over ten years as an AEC software developer, split between architecture and code, for clients and projects worldwide.I take designs from the first sketch to production, with any fabrication technology, and I write the tools that get them there: software that improves the product and streamlines the way teams design and build it.
