Software Engineering / BIM / Computational Design

About

Hi, my name is Peter Bull, a BIM manager and computational designer transitioning into software engineering.

My professional journey is rooted in applying innovative computational methods to enhance construction projects, with expertise in programming (Python, JavaScript), design software (Revit, Rhino), and modern tech frameworks (React, FastAPI, Airflow, Kafka).

Outside work, I find balance in surfing, gardening with my girlfriend (just wrapping up her PhD in Machine Learning and Intentionality), lifting weights, and enjoying my role as the resident 'really good everyday chef'
