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 & 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 Design & Make ecosystem, with a background in the AECO industries. As a CAD manager in my previous life, I aim to educate and empower Autodesk users to use Autodesk applications smarter, not harder, whilst designing and making a better world.
With 36+ 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) and Autodesk Certified Professional (ACP), I provide a wide range of services globally. I work not only with Autodesk but also as a LinkedIn Learning [in]structor and subject matter expert for Autodesk, Certiport, and AMD. I am also a 3Dconnexion Ambassador. I am also part of the Dell Inside Circle.
As an Autodesk Expert Elite Member (EE), I work closely with Autodesk in the Autodesk Community, and I provide end-user support in the Autodesk forums. As a veteran Autodesk University (AU) speaker, starting my AU speaking career in 2006, I am also an active AU Speaker Mentor, assisting first-time AU speakers to develop their AU classes for a global audience.
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 and regularly write articles for the Autodesk Community.
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).
