Jeff is responsible for the planning, aesthetic expression, technical guidance, and integration of engineering systems into architecture as it applies to the programmatic needs of each individual project. He helps define the needs, budget, and quality of the project and develop the conceptual design and subsequent refinements through design. Jeff designs with consideration for health, safety, efficiency, and economics utilizing materials and systems appropriate for their particular applications. His design and technical leadership provides architectural continuity throughout the project. Jeff is responsible for performing and directing others in the design of various industrial facilities. His additional responsibilities include developing project proposals, budgets, code reviews, construction cost estimates, and specifications as well as construction site visits and reviewing shop drawings. Jeff’s activities pertain to new structures and modifications to existing facilities, performed to comply with local and national codes and regulations.
Agentic Automation
Empowering Teams with AI-Driven Workflows
SSOE is actively piloting AI Chat large language models (LLMs) or copilots that use Natural Language Processing (NLP) to streamline both design and development tasks, transforming how our teams interact with software and each other.
By integrating chat LLM engines into platforms like Revit, we’re enabling users to prompt complex actions using simple, conversational commands. In Revit, this means automating tasks such as modeling elements, cleaning up parameter data, managing annotations and dimensions, and organizing sheets—without writing scripts. These automations and quality prompts can be shared across project teams, accelerating workflows and reducing manual effort.
Similarly, our internal Software Development Community is leveraging GitHub Copilot to expedite coding tasks. Developers can generate and refine code using NLP prompts, tapping into GitHub’s extensive Repo to move faster from concept to implementation.
Together, these tools represent a shift from traditional, expert-driven scripting to intuitive, AI-assisted automation, unlocking new levels of efficiency and scalability across our projects.
