Hello! I'm Alessandro, a Senior CAS Modeler specializing in exterior and interior class-A surfacing for automotive programs. I collaborate across design, engineering, and data teams to deliver refined 3D models and robust data pipelines, guiding concepts from early stages to production readiness. My hands-on approach combines concept development with production-driven constraints to ensure high-quality results. In my career, I've supported brands like Porsche, Volkswagen, Kia Europe, Bugatti, Volvo Trucks, MAN Trucks, and Kia Europe on multi-year programs, refining surfaces and optimizing workflows. I enjoy bridging the gap between creative design and engineering realities, using tools like Autodesk Alias, ShotGrid, and the Adobe suite to communicate concepts clearly and deliver top-quality outcomes on time.
