Meet the team.

Keith began programming with C++ and Visual Basic 6.0 while in high school. After studying mechanical engineering in college, he worked as an application engineer at a SOLIDWORKS reseller for three years. During this time he discovered the SOLIDWORKS API and realized he could combine his passions for programming and CAD. Surprised by the lack of quality API training and services, he started CADSharp in March 2011. As the Technical Director, he traveled the world teaching SOLIDWORKS API, writing SOLIDWORKS addins, and presenting on API topics over twenty times. In 2026 he relinquished his role of Technical Director to focus solely on operations, sales, and marketing. He is currently based in Vancouver, WA and has four young children. His passions include self-improvement, game design, learning about other cultures, climbing the Pacific Northwest Cascade peaks, and drinking Soylent.

Sean brings even more Dutch-Canadian influence to the team, as well as a touch of youth, being a mere 23 years old when he joined in 2021, first as a software developer, then as the Technical Services Manager in 2022, and eventually as the Technical Director in 2026, due to his consistent track record of delivering large projects to customers. His formal training includes automation engineering, chemical engineering, and business management. Prior to CADSharp, he designed an automation cell used to weld brake pedals for Tesla vehicles, programmed baggage handling systems used at LaGuardia Airport, and administrated a PDM vault with over two million CAD models used by 140 designers. He currently lives in southern Ontario where he enjoys spending time with his wife and son, building computers, and playing board games. He has restored Keith’s faith in Gen Z.

Nilesh grew up in the Gujarat province of India, where he excelled at cricket and math. Forsaking his childhood dream of playing professional cricket, he studied undergraduate mechanical engineering at The North Gujarat University before moving to Adelaide to receive a master’s degree in the same subject. Remaining in Australia (where he is now a citizen), Nilesh worked as a design engineer in Brisbane where he began studying SOLIDWORKS API. He joined CADSharp part-time in 2018 and then full-time in 2019, where his deep design background gives him great insight into the automation needs of our customers. He is happily married with one son, despises vegemite, and enjoys reminding Kiwis that New Zealand is basically Australia’s Canada.

Raised in a hamlet on the outskirts of Moscow, Konstantin took an early liking to the complexity of mechanical systems and the equations developed by scientists to predict their behavior. In 2014 he graduated from Bauman Moscow State University as a mechanical engineer with an emphasis on metal cutting machines. Shortly thereafter he received his masters degree, which shifted his design work into mobile robotics platforms and bionic hands. In 2019 he discovered Onshape FeatureScript, a skill he honed through open-source projects such as features for non-linear curve transforms, which included a wrap feature before Onshape added it natively. Konstantin currently resides in Moscow and has no hobbies besides going to the gym and polishing his Mosin Nagant rifle, which he hopes will serve him well when he retires to the Ural Mountains.

Michael Pascoe is the Swiss Army Knife of CADSharp. Mechanical design, CAD translation, FeatureScripting, graphic design, video production, tutorial and report creation — he can do it all. He is also an entrepreneur, co-founding rendercad.ai in 2025. He enjoys helping people with Onshape, developing online games with Unity, and being a dad. He is also a Christian. Reach out to Michael if you want to learn more about God’s rescue plan through Jesus Christ.

Andries Koorzen is CADSharp’s most experienced developer and the chief architect of SharpSync. Much could be said about this code commando, but for now you just need to know that he lives in Nova Scotia, takes unit testing seriously, and speaks Afrikaans — which is what Dutch sounds like after too many beers.

Angelo was born in Caracas, Venezuela to wealthy Italian and Portuguese immigrants. Mechanically-inclined from a young age, he studied mechanical engineering in Universidad Simon Bolivar. During this time he participated in FSAE, even rising to the position of team lead. (Fun fact: He and Keith competed at the same Michigan FSAE meet in 2008.) After college he began working for a SOLIDWORKS VAR as part of their consulting division involving mold design, machine design, and FEA. Fleeing political unrest, he moved to Santiago, Chile to work in the mining sector, where he met his wife, also a Venezuelan refugee. They have one son. In 2018 he sought another degree in computer engineering and has remained in the software development sector ever since. In 2023 he joined CADSharp as a SOLIDWORKS and SOLIDWORKS PDM developer, working under the venerable Sean Stubbe.

Joe was born in Beirut, Lebanon and immigrated to Toronto, Canada in 2020. In Beirut, he managed his family’s construction business for ten years, developing a strong business acumen while utilizing his civil engineering background. His transition to the Great White North also marked a career transition into full-stack software development. Since 2023, he has worked alongside Andries to develop the front-end, back-end, CAD integrations, and ERP integrations associated with SharpSync. As if that weren’t enough, he even wrote a SOLIDWORKS addin for Sean Stubbe. When not being an absolute mad lad in the code, he enjoys being trilingual (English, French, Arabic), gaming, and listening to heavy metal. He has a wife and a dog. One of them is an architect and one of them is named Storm, though he didn’t specify which in the questionnaire.

Prasad can do a lot of things well. We’ll say more about him later, but for now you just need to know that he’s an incredible person.

This team member prefers to keep an air of mystery about them. But they exist. We promise.

Mike grew up on the shores of Lake Ontario, where he resides to this day. Raised around his father’s automotive repair shop, he developed an affinity for all things mechanical, which led to him studying mechanical engineering technology in college. Since then, he’s led a varied career in mechanical design, PDM administration, and systems analysis. Unlike his soft-handed colleagues, who will never know the feeling of scrubbing grease and dirt off their hands with 20 Mule Team Borax after a day of actual work, Mike is equally comfortable in the machine shop as he is behind a computer. In his spare time, he repairs centrifugal clutches and nitrogen-charged shocks on snowmobiles, hunts waterfowl on the Grand River, works out on his home-made squat rack, and enjoys other activities that only a man with a beard like his could confidently perform.

Vinith Anand can do a lot of things well. We’ll say more about him later, but for now you just need to know that he speaks five languages fluently, which might be the least impressive part of his resume. He lives in Quebec.

Robert can do a lot of things well. We’ll say more about him later, but for now you just need to know that his designs in the mining and construction equipment sector are so legendary that Wayne Gretzky was once called the “Robert Blanchard of hockey”. He lives in Ontario.

Tait Regnier can do a lot of things well. We’ll say more about him later, but for now you just need to know that he’s an incredible person.

Jason Burton can do a lot of things well. We’ll say more about him later, but for now you just need to know that he hails from Omaha, Nebraska, and will fight anyone who refers to the midwest as “flyover country”.

Melissa Rice handles accounts receivable at CADSharp, spending her time in Pipedrive, Exceel, and vendor forms. She lives in Xenia, Ohio, which is the largest city in the United States that begins with the letter ‘X. Her oldest son began a software development business, of which she is moderately proud.

Marla grew up in Wellsboro, PA alongside Keith — because they happen to be siblings. She has a BS in Biology. In high school and college, she used her athletic gifts to set numerous sprinting records in track and field. When not paying contractors and poring over financial spreadsheets, she enjoys running, homeschooling her three children, and smiting demonic foes with her sun-imbued blade, Perihelion.

Christine Fernandez can do a lot of things well. We’ll say more about her later, but for now you just need to know that she is from a nation of over 7,000 islands in Southeast Asia.
