I'm Shaun 'CADjedi' Bryant

Founder of Not Just CAD

 

This is my story

My name is Shaun 'CADjedi' Bryant. I am a seasoned CAD and BIM expert and part-time technologist in the AECO industry. I am also the owner and founder of the Not Just CAD brand. 

I am an educator, content creator, and changemaker in the CAD and BIM ecosystem, with a background in the AECO industries. As a CAD manager in my previous life, I aim to educate and empower CAD users to use CAD and BIM applications smarter, not harder, whilst designing and making a better world.

With 37+ years of experience with AutoCAD and Revit and a varied background in training, technical, and sales, I have built my multidisciplinary training and coaching consultancy business, CADFMconsultants (www.cadfmconsult.com), from the ground up.

As an Autodesk Certified Instructor (ACI), Autodesk Certified Professional (ACP), and member of the Autodesk Expert Elite program, I provide a wide range of services globally. Also, as a veteran Autodesk University (AU) speaker, starting my AU speaking career in 2006, I am an active AU Speaker Mentor, assisting first-time AU speakers to develop their AU classes for a global audience.

I don't just work for Autodesk, either. I'm a LinkedIn Learning [in]structor and subject matter expert for Dell (Inside Circle), HP, AMD, and NVIDIA. I am also a Certiport subject matter expert, providing my educational expertise in creating Autodesk Certified Professional examination content. I am also a 3Dconnexion Ambassador.

I also have learning content on the Udemy platform, and work with other CAD providers, such as Bricsys (BricsCAD) and DraftSight.

I own the Not Just CAD brand, which started way back as a regular blog and has developed into a LinkedIn newsletter and official podcast. I also write articles for the official AutoCAD blog on the Autodesk website, the Autodesk Community, and AUGIWorld magazine. 

With an avid interest in current technology, I have a keen interest in how this can be used to enhance the learning process. Not Just CAD is the place to read, listen, watch, and, most of all, learn!

I am thoroughly enjoying getting involved in reality capture (ReCap), working with drones and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) to generate 3D models using photogrammetry and LiDAR scanning, and when not surrounded by CAD, BIM, and drones, you will often find me with a guitar, singing and songwriting. Check out Shaun C Bryant on Apple Music and other outlets to listen!

I currently reside in East Yorkshire in the UK, running Not Just CAD from my home-based, self-built office studio, affectionately known as “The Workshop” (designed in AutoCAD, no less).
