Pelin Atasoy

Pelin Atasoy, a classically trained architect, has over 30 years of experience in the construction industry. After realizing the loss of time, labor and money in the industry, she started a technology company to create solutions.

After moving to the U.S. in 1986, Pelin began using and customizing CAD and developed systems and methods to bring efficiency to design and construction documents. By standardizing building components and automizing the project process, she was able to complete high-rise apartments using small teams in record time.

In 1995, Pelin founded Compu.tecture, Inc to develop MADCAD, a patented software that organizes and delivers cross-referenced industry information from one central location. She invented MADCAD.com's online, view-only subscription system to ensure data is secure and up-to-date, as well as searchable and accessible via mobile devises. As an architect, she tested the system in construction industry first, and hopes to bring the same efficiency to other industries.

Pelin was born and raised in Istanbul, Turkey where she earned her Master of Architecture at Mimar Sinan University of Fine Arts. She is an award-winning architect who has worked in Istanbul, London and the DC area. She is currently a registered architect in DC and member of AIA, ICC and NFPA.
