Civil engineer
Structural, geotechnical, and infrastructure language. I read the calculations, not just the renders.
Who you’d be working with
Luis Miguel Urdaneta Acedo
Civil engineer, architectural designer, and AI systems builder. Based in Portugal, working internationally in English and Portuguese.
01 — The intersection
Three skill stacks that rarely live in one person
1 / 3
2 / 3
Architectural designer
Design, spatial reasoning, and Portuguese licensing language. I have lived inside a Câmara Municipal dossier.
3 / 3
Developer
I build the AI and automation myself. Not slides, not diagrams — running Python, running cron, running in production.
Most AEC consultants sell process. Most AI consultants can’t read a Câmara Municipal licensing dossier. The intersection is the offer.
Layered on top: based in Portugal, fluent in English, native to the Portuguese AEC system. I translate context, not just language — for the foreign developers, expat architects, and international firms doing Portuguese projects who don’t want to live inside Portuguese bureaucracy.
02 — Current work
What I’m building right now
Master in AI for Architecture and Construction at Zigurat Institute of Technology (in progress, thesis defense August 2026) — where my TFM team is building a 7-agent system for RRAE acoustic-compliance verification on BIM models.
My weekly cadence: building demonstrations on real projects, writing the methodology, and shipping to a small number of selected clients. The personal system behind the methodology — 7,571 lines of Python, 12 AI skills, 11 vaults — runs on my own context daily. See the case study →
03 — Architectural design background
Before the systems work, the projects
Residential and commercial architectural design across Portugal, integrating sustainability principles and AI-driven design tools. This portfolio stays online as proof that the AEC understanding is first-hand — designed and visualised, not consulted from the outside.
