Background

About Niknaz Aftahi

As a design technology nerd I found it difficult to understand the applications of new tools and solutions in a fast and simple manner. Therefore I started aec+tech as the first and only all-in-one platform connecting architecture, engineering, construction & operations professionals with emerging and disruptive technologies! Prior to launching aec+tech I practiced architecture in the bay area, California, both as a design professional as well as a design technology lead. I've been a keynote speaker at various international aec-tech events, and I've also been teaching architecture courses online to Bahai students in Iran who continue to be deprived of access to universities in their own country. Informed by aec+tech community-driven database, I enjoy helping various size AEC/O firms find the right tools and solutions for their tech stack, related to their project scope and typology. We help them map the existing stack, find the gaps and inefficiencies, and we suggest an optimized tech stack respective to identified gaps. We also help design & construction companies track the testing, piloting and adoption of new tools into their workflow.
