I build the software engineering businesses wish already existed.
Nikita Gurov
For more than 15 years I've been solving one problem: how to help engineers spend less time fighting software and more time designing great products. That question has taken me from aerospace engineering to enterprise software development, Autodesk technologies, AI and business automation. Today it's the foundation of ModernCAD.
I work where engineering meets AI
Most people understand engineering. Others understand software. Very few spend their careers mastering both.
I trained as an aerospace engineer before moving into software development, where I've spent the past 15 years designing solutions for manufacturers, utilities, engineering firms and industrial businesses.
That combination is what I put into the foundation of ModernCAD. It's why we don't just understand the software – we understand the work the software is supposed to support, and the business decisions riding on it.
That principle has shaped everything since. Whether it's automating Autodesk Vault, building AI inside Inventor, integrating business systems or developing completely new engineering software, the starting point is always the same:
If the right tool doesn't exist, build it.
Real experience. Real projects.
We've worked with manufacturers, energy companies, mining organisations, government agencies and engineering firms across Australia. Projects have included:
Enterprise Autodesk Vault implementations
Engineering data migrations from 20,000 files to over 2 million in a single project
AI-powered CAD tools
Business automation platforms
Engineering software integrations
Custom applications used every day by engineering teams
Some projects are public. Many remain confidential. Every one started with understanding how the business actually worked.

Why clients work with ModernCAD
Because ModernCAD brings a depth of knowledge across engineering design and business automation that's rare to find in one place.
We start with the business principles – how work is won, planned and delivered – before anyone talks about software. And we stay for the part most projects skip: supporting the organisational change that comes with new systems.
Capability and efficiency get built from the ground up, not bolted on at the end.
Our philosophy
Technology shouldn't make work more complicated. It should quietly remove friction.
The best software often disappears into the background because people simply get their work done without thinking about it.
That's what we build.
Looking ahead
Engineering is entering one of its biggest transformations since CAD replaced the drawing board. AI won't replace engineers. It will replace repetitive engineering work.
The businesses that succeed will be the ones that combine deep engineering knowledge with intelligent software.
That's exactly what ModernCAD was built for.
