Professional Summary
Joe Kendsersky is a computational designer and technologist whose independent practice — SPIRA, STAND, and MASSING — turns real civic and architectural data into interactive, explorable geometry. That work builds on more than twenty years at the forefront of digital transformation in AEC, beginning as one of the earliest Revit practitioners at Revit Technology Corporation and continuing through principal-level BIM consulting, where he has guided 75+ firms through complex technology transitions and partnered directly with executive leadership on measurable business outcomes. The result is a rare pairing: deep computational and geometric fluency backed by two decades of client-facing technology leadership.
Featured Independent Work — Generative Design & NYC Open Data
Independent Three.js/WebGL applications built end to end — concept, real-data pipelines, interaction design, and deployment — with continuous delivery via GitHub and Netlify.
SPIRA — Architectural Deformation Explorer · spiraformdeform.netlify.app
- Explores the geometry of architectural form-making — twist, taper, shear, bend, free-form deformation, helix, and morph — grounded in formal computational-geometry theory (Pottmann et al., Architectural Geometry)
- Doubles as a teaching tool for architecture students, with an interactive glossary, guided walkthrough, and real case studies including the Guggenheim NYC and Turning Torso
STAND — Generative Forest from NYC Street Tree Census · nycstreettrees.netlify.app · GitHub
- Grows a full procedural forest — one branching structure per real tree record — directly from NYC's Street Tree Census (2005 and 2015)
- Reconstructs the city's real geography around the data, including an accurately modeled Hudson River and Long Island Sound
MASSING — NYC Building Massing from PLUTO Tax Lot Data · nycmassing.netlify.app · GitHub
- Extends STAND's data-driven approach to NYC's PLUTO tax lot dataset — every mass reflects a real recorded footprint, height, and FAR
- Full 3D city navigation with a neighborhood color mode built on official NYC Department of City Planning boundaries
