I've Been Where You Are
Shicong Cao • Licensed Architect & AI Strategist
Licensed architect turned coder. I spent years watching talented architects drown in fragmented data.
After building AI solutions for both design studios and tech companies, I discovered the secret: AI isn't about replacing architects—it's about multiplying their impact.
Now I teach AEC professionals the exact AI workflows that turn 40-hour tasks into 4-hour wins. No fluff. Just proven methods that work.
Whether you're an innovator or learning to innovate, I'll help you lead with confidence.
