Autodesk
Michael Beale is a Principal Software Engineer working on Autodesk Platform Services (APS) at the intersection of cloud, AI, and large-scale 3D visualization. His background includes WebGL mega-scenes, cloud path tracing, and open standards like glTF, I3S, openPBR, and 3D Tiles.
From 2025’s llms.txt, MCPs, and Cursor workflows, he’s moving into 2026’s agent planning, skills.md, and Level-3+ vibe coding — pushing AI to solve engineering challenges once too complex or time-intensive to attempt, and teaching these emerging workflows along the way.
