Professional Summary
One of the earliest practitioners of Revit-based BIM — joining Revit Technology Corporation before its acquisition by Autodesk — Joe Kendsersky has spent 20+ years at the forefront of digital transformation in AEC, guiding 75+ firms through complex technology transitions and partnering directly with executive leadership on measurable business outcomes. That same computational instinct now drives an independent practice as a computational designer and creative technologist: SPIRA, Negative Space, and STRATA turn real civic, architectural, and building-operations data into interactive, explorable systems. The result is a rare pairing: two decades of client-facing technology leadership backed by deep computational and geometric fluency.
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
- 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
Negative Space — Architectural Voids from Real NYC Building Data · negativespace212.netlify.app · GitHub
- Computes the true architectural negative space of a NYC Community District as a real CSG solid — a bounding volume minus every real building, using Overture Maps footprint and height data — rather than a cosmetic visualization
- Produces genuine architectural sections (N/S/E/W/Plan) through the solid, with export to a closed, AutoCAD-ready 3D mesh for CNC or fabrication workflows
STRATA — BIM + Live Building IoT Dashboard · stratabim.netlify.app · GitHub
- Loads a Revit model export and drives a live, color-coded 3D dashboard of its own rooms — power, HVAC, temperature, and occupancy — against real or simulated sensor feeds
- Direct bridge between BIM authoring and building operations: the same Revit geometry that designs a building now monitors it
Professional Experience
Principal
Jan 2018 – Present
Axis BIM · New York, NY
- Runs an independent, referral-driven technology consulting practice — firms and individual clients reach out directly, project to project, for needs spanning 2D drafting, 3D modeling, scripting and automation, and client-facing visualization and rendering
- Drove BIM adoption and digital transformation across a client base from global architecture and engineering practices to boutique studios, delivering measurable improvements in project delivery efficiency
- Tailored Revit workflow strategies to each client's scale — from enterprise standards rollouts to lean team setups — reducing coordination overhead
- Adjunct Professor at New York School of Interior Design, teaching design software at the undergraduate and graduate level
Senior VDC / 4D Product Specialist
Jan 2017 – Dec 2017
Synchro Software · New York, NY
- Developed 4D construction visualizations of MEP installation sequencing for Manhattan West North Tower
- Pioneered Microsoft HoloLens mixed-reality applications for construction visualization
- Led pilot implementation of Synchro PRO/SITE for complex curtain wall renovation projects
- Served as key liaison between clients and the development team, driving product evolution through enhancement requests
Principal
Dec 2012 – Dec 2016
Axis BIM · New York, NY
- Advised executives and principals at firms from global design practices to independent studios on technology investment and digital strategy
- Consulted with Permasteelisa Group (2014) on Revit Architecture workflows for supertall projects including Merdeka 118 and Nordstrom Tower (Central Park Tower)
Senior Technical Advisor
Oct 2005 – Nov 2012
Autodesk Inc. · New York, NY
- Guided strategic client transitions from Revit pilot programs to full production deployment
- Analyzed Revit implementation and user experience across US and Canadian markets, with specialized focus on the NYC AEC community
- Partnered with engineering and product teams to influence the Revit roadmap
- Delivered Revit workshops at Yale School of Architecture and the University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee
Product Support Specialist
Apr 2002 – Oct 2004
Autodesk Inc. · Waltham, MA
- Provided technical support to Autodesk's national and international Revit user base, resolving complex software challenges
- Facilitated weekly technical webinars demonstrating advanced Revit functionality
- Delivered one-on-one training sessions tailored to specific project requirements
Client Support Architect
Jan 2001 – Mar 2002
Revit Technology Corporation · Waltham, MA
- One of the earliest client-facing hires at the company that originated Revit; managed direct support relationships for 65+ active clients prior to Autodesk's acquisition
- Evaluated and presented software capabilities to internal support teams, elevating service delivery standards
- Developed training programs including annual exercises, web-based classes, and FAQ resources
Additional Tools & Automation
Modulor Design Suite — Parametric Facade & Massing Design Tools
- Grasshopper/Rhino facade generator combining Le Corbusier's Modulor proportioning system with Mondrian-inspired compositions, with an automated pipeline to fabrication-ready shop drawings and bills of materials
- Ported to two standalone browser tools for use outside Rhino — Modulor Mondrian for facade design and Modulor Massing for rapid building-form exploration
AxisTools — Automated Floor Plan Generation Suite — pyRevit, Revit Architecture 2027
- Three production pyRevit tools — FloorPlan (residential), Apartments (new-construction multi-unit, with core/shell/stair logic), and Interior (existing-apartment re-plans with shell and entry locked) — each generating native Revit walls, rooms, and doors directly from a room program
- Paired with a Plan Harvester that builds a library of real floor-plan geometry from his own project archive, scoring layouts for realism and fitting them to a building's shell to drive more realistic auto-generated plans
DWG-to-Revit Existing-Conditions Rebuilder — pyRevit
- Rebuilds an AutoCAD existing-conditions drawing directly into native Revit walls, doors, and windows — rules-based wall-join and thickening logic, automatic door/window host-fitting, and a numbered issue legend for anything the tool can't resolve with confidence
- Replaces hours of manual existing-conditions modeling per project, refined against real client floor plans
