The Autodesk Identity Service (a.k.a. Oxygen) is a platform product that provides a cloud based single sign-on solution for managing, authenticating and authorizing Autodesk user ID(s) across web-based and desktop applications and services. It is a core web service that unifies all customer accounts, including other single sign-on accounts globally across all of Autodesk.

The Autodesk Forge Platform is a cloud based portal that facilitates developers with a new approach of building apps with Autodesk web APIs.

Vault data management software helps organize, manage, and track data creation, simulation, and documentation processes for design, engineering, and construction teams. Autodesk users can organize all their files and keep them in one location for easy access.

Side Projects

2024

Through a continuous improvement initiative, it resulted by chance the creation of "Variables Manager", a personal published plugin tailored to streamline the management of design variables within the Figma desktop application.

"Variables Manager" empowers designers by simplifying the extraction and manipulation of Figma variables, eliminating the need to navigate through multiple collections. With this intuitive tool, all variables are conveniently organized in one accessible location, facilitating effortless viewing and editing.
