SZYCHOWSKA
I build production software for the AEC industry — Rhino plugins, cloud-compute pipelines, internal web tooling, and LLM-driven design workflows. At KPF (2022–2026), I worked up from Software Developer to Associate Principal; before that, Computational Design Specialist at Grimshaw (2019–2022). Faculty at IAAC since 2023.

Senior Software Developer and Associate Principal at KPF, where I led software development across the firm's Dev, Computational, and Environmental Performance teams. Previously Computational Design Specialist at Grimshaw. Faculty at IAAC for the Digital Tools for Cloud-based Data Management course in the MACAD program.
What I ship
- Rhino & Grasshopper plugins adopted across live projects (C#, RhinoCommon, WPF)
- Cloud-compute pipelines that turn parametric models into scalable web services (Rhino.Compute, AWS)
- Full-stack internal tools, picking up whatever the problem needs
- LLM and MCP integrations wired into daily design workflows
- Tooling frameworks that let specialists ship their own analyses without a developer in the loop
