AI-aware CAD / BIM / PLM / Autodesk automation architect

Thomas Divine Smith II

I help lean engineering teams use AI and automation where it actually pays.

TSmithCode.ai is the software leadership surface. CAD Guardian is the consulting lane. The shared specialty is turning intent, drawings, structured data, APIs, platform governance, and enterprise workflows into reliable software, dashboards, evidence, and operational handoff.
