About Melike Aslan

Civil & BIM Engineer | Revit API & Dynamo Developer | Seismic Design | BIM Coordination | Parametric Modeling | Project Management I am an experienced Civil and BIM Engineer specialized in large-scale construction and infrastructure projects. I actively manage end-to-end Building Information Modeling (BIM) processes, from conceptual design to implementation, and I specialize in automating workflows using Revit API, Dynamo, and Python. I am passionate about digital transformation and committed to enhancing construction efficiency and safety through parametric design and data-driven engineering solutions. By combining structural and software engineering, I develop interdisciplinary and highly accurate digital solutions. My areas of expertise include 3D/4D modeling, BIM coordination, clash detection, quantity take-off, Revit family development, and virtual reality integration for immersive project presentations. Academic Background: In my undergraduate studies, I focused on seismic design and nonlinear structural analysis. I completed a thesis on performance-based evaluation of reinforced concrete buildings under earthquake effects, using tools like and ETABS for structural modeling and assessment. In my graduate studies, I am working on Digital Image Correlation (DIC) — an advanced technique for analyzing structural deformations. I am developing my own open-source DIC software, combining experimental and numerical data through Python and OpenCV-based image processing algorithms. My goal is to deliver an accessible, user-friendly DIC solution for both academic and industrial applications. Professional Experience: I develop digital solutions specifically for formwork and scaffolding systems, enhancing BIM processes for speed, accuracy, and efficiency. My responsibilities span both software development and applied BIM modeling workflows-Developing custom Revit plug-ins using C# and.NET -Creating parametric Revit families and intelligent modeling tools -Automating modeling workflows with Dynamo scripts -Generating and updating formwork layout plans automatically -Simulating construction sequences using Twinmotion and Unreal Engine Performing quantity take-offs, budgeting, and project scheduling -Preparing interactive BIM-based presentations for international exhibitions (e.g, Bauma 2023,2025) Technical Skills: Revit, Dynamo, Python, C#.NET, ETABS, AutoCAD, Primavera P6, Advanced Excel, Twinmotion, Unreal Engine, Visual Studio, Git, JSON, Digital Image Correlation (DIC), and more.
