About Me
My name is Scott Rosenbloom and I was born and raised on Long Island, New York. My wife Donna and I currently live in Westchester, New York. After graduating Valley Stream South High School in 1994, I went to the State University of New York at Buffalo. I graduated in 1998 with a Bachelor of Professional Studies degree in Architecture. Returning to southern New York State, I graduated in 2000 from the New York Institute of Technology with a Bachelor’s degree in Architecture. Finally, in 2002, I graduated from the School of Visual Arts with a Master’s degree in Computer Art.
Since completing my education, I’ve worked for various firms concentrating strictly on architectural design at some and 3D modeling and rendering at others. Currently, I am a Digital Design Manager at Skidmore, Owings and Merrill. I am responsible for both CAD and BIM management as well as employee training. Additionally, I manage the implementation, training and maintenance for all architecturally-related design software.
For the last four years, I have taught Architectural Visualization Using AutoCAD and 3DS MAX within the Continuing Education Department of the Pratt Institute. This department is a certified Autodesk Training Center. Additionally, I have been a speaker at Autodesk’s yearly conference, Autodesk University).
I am available for various consulting services in such areas as teaching, computer support, design software integration and support, and 3D modeling and rendering. Please email me at scott@caduzer.com to arrange a meeting to discuss using any of my services to increase the efficiency of your technological environment.
