food4Rhino webinar: App Builder for ShapeDiver
- Mathieu Huard. Mathieu is the Head of Product, as well as one of the founders of ShapeDiver. He focuses on expanding the ShapeDiver product to cater to various industries, leveraging parametric design in their workflow. In the context of the AEC industry, he helped push the collaboration and interoperability functionalities of ShapeDiver, such as bridging the online platform with various design software suites, including Autodesk Forma. He holds a Ph.D. in Applied Mathematics. Before founding ShapeDiver, he spent several years with the Vienna-based company Evolute, developing software and consulting for architects and engineering firms. He also gained experience building tools for Rhino and Grasshopper.
- Edwin Hernández. Edwin Hernandez is Head of Projects and Senior Computational Designer at ShapeDiver. He studied Architecture at Andes University in Bogotá, Colombia, and Computer Animation at the SAE Institute in Melbourne, Australia. While still studying, he began working as a "solopreneur" with clients in Australia and New Zealand. These clients provided projects that allowed him to gain experience using BIM software, parametric design, and web coding. His experience enabled him to join the ShapeDiver team in Vienna, Austria, in 2017. He has managed multiple projects across more than 15 different industries. During this time, he has learned how to create highly optimized and complex parametric models using C#, custom plugins for Grasshopper, and cloud applications based on Grasshopper.
