Experience Isn’t Just About Time

A lot of engineers think “5 years of experience” means you’re automatically skilled.
But experience isn’t measured in years, it’s measured in repetitions.

If you’ve done 1 project 10 times, you’ve repeated it.
If you’ve done 10 different projects once, you’ve grown.

🧠 The real progress happens when you step into the unknown and figure it out.
👉 What was the first project that really leveled you up?

For me, it was a few big residential neighborhoods.
I was thrown into stormwater and utility design, using software I barely knew how to open.

I spent late nights chasing errors and wondering if I even belonged in this field.
But those nights taught me more than any class ever did.

Every broken model made me sharper. That’s how you grow in this profession, one fix at a time.

Had a great time at Bluebeam Unbound this week in Washington DC! It was great connecting with other professionals who use Bluebeam every day. I picked up some valuable ideas to bring back to our team, and I’m excited for the new tools ahead. Thanks Bluebeam for putting together a well-organized and insightful event.
