Milton Chanes is a writer, researcher, and technology professional with a well-established career in CAD, BIM, and technical education applied to architecture, engineering, and construction. For more than two decades, he has worked as an author, trainer, and technical communicator, publishing over fifteen technical books, collaborating with official software distributors, and contributing to hundreds of professional projects within the AEC sector.
His work is consistently defined by a strong educational focus, clear and structured communication, and a long-term view of technology—not as a passing trend, but as a tool that must be integrated thoughtfully, responsibly, and in close alignment with real professional workflows.
From an early stage, he developed a strong digital presence. Long before online technical education became widespread, he created blogs and educational platforms dedicated to CAD, BIM, and digital design that became reference points in the Spanish-speaking world. These initiatives helped train thousands of students and professionals, not only in how to use software tools, but in how to understand processes, technological change, and professional practice.
Throughout his career, Milton Chanes has worked across multiple CAD and BIM ecosystems, collaborating with official software distributors, training centers, and professional media. His role has consistently combined technical expertise with a strong capacity for communication—translating complex systems, workflows, and concepts into accessible, practical knowledge for real-world use.
Rather than focusing on tools in isolation, his approach emphasizes workflows, decision-making, and long-term professional sustainability. This perspective has allowed him to contribute meaningfully to education, documentation, product communication, and user-oriented content across different platforms and formats.
Long before digital learning became mainstream, Milton Chanes was already building open, structured educational content online. For more than fifteen years, he maintained a specialized blog dedicated to CAD, BIM, and applied digital technology for architecture and engineering. At a time when reliable technical information in Spanish was scarce, this blog became a widely consulted reference for students, professionals, and educators.
Its longevity and consistency helped shape a generation of users who learned not only software commands, but also how to think critically about workflows, technological evolution, and professional practice.
In parallel, he developed several YouTube channels focused on different aspects of digital design and education:
3Dzyx, dedicated to 3D modeling, visualization, rendering, and experimentation with digital form, combining technical rigor with creative exploration.
Bibliocad, focused on AutoCAD, documentation workflows, and practical solutions for architectural and engineering projects.
Other educational channels, supporting specific books, courses, and structured learning paths related to CAD, BIM, and professional software use.
At a time when free and open online training was still unusual, these channels offered long-form explanations, structured tutorials, and practical examples that complemented his published work. This early commitment to digital education positioned him as a pioneer in Spanish-language technical content creation.
Throughout his career, Milton Chanes has collaborated with major Autodesk distributors in Spain, including 2aCAD and Asuni, contributing as an author, trainer, and technical communicator. These collaborations involved course development, technical documentation, professional events, and educational initiatives aimed at AutoCAD, Revit, and related technologies.
In addition, for six consecutive years he was an active contributor to AutoCAD Magazine, a specialized professional publication based in Barcelona that played a significant role in the Spanish CAD community. His contributions included articles, tutorials, and expert analysis designed to translate complex technical developments into clear, usable knowledge for professionals.
Alongside his technical career, Milton Chanes has maintained a continuous practice of narrative writing and essay work. His literary interests focus on the relationship between history, identity, memory, and human experience—often grounded in careful research and contextual analysis.
He collaborates by publishing short fiction in various digital and journalistic outlets, including the independent Cuban newspaper 14ymedio.com. These collaborations function as a narrative laboratory, allowing his work to reach diverse audiences beyond traditional literary circuits and providing direct feedback through real readership engagement.
This dual practice—technical communication and narrative writing—reinforces a shared core skill: the ability to observe, analyze, structure, and communicate complex ideas with clarity and depth.
Since the age of eleven—almost four decades ago—when he began practicing karate in Paysandú, Uruguay (with Sensei Campopiano), martial arts training has been a constant presence in Milton Chanes’ life. Not as a title or credential, but as a discipline rooted in practice, patience, and continuous learning.
Karate has provided him with a deep understanding of sustained effort, long-term commitment, and respect for process over outcome. He does not define himself as a karate instructor or master, but as a practitioner who continues to train and learn, guided by teachers such as Sensei Nelson Carrión, whose influence has been fundamental to his personal development.
This long-term practice has shaped his approach to both professional work and writing: with rigor, humility, and respect for accumulated knowledge.
Accustomed to research and learning within complex technical environments, this same mindset led him not only to historical research into traditional Karate-Dō, but also to a broader practice of narrative writing that spans historical fiction, speculative and science fiction, and ethically driven storytelling. His work explores how individuals and societies respond to technology, tradition, memory, and change, often placing human experience at the center of technical or historical contexts.
His narrative approach combines careful documentation with a reflective, human perspective, approaching historical figures, imagined futures, and cultural settings from the position of a learner and researcher rather than from authority. Through both fiction and research-based narratives, he examines ethical questions, identity, responsibility, and the long-term consequences of human decisions.
Many of his novels and short stories are available in multiple languages, reflecting an interest that crosses disciplines, cultures, genres, and borders.
Milton Chanes’ work is defined by its transversal nature. Technology, education, writing, historical research, and personal practice are not treated as separate domains, but as interconnected parts of a coherent professional and creative path.
This approach has enabled him to collaborate on editorial, educational, and technological projects, to write both technical and narrative texts, and to adapt to different formats and audiences without sacrificing depth or rigor.
This space brings together that trajectory—grounded in continuous learning, thoughtful experimentation, and clear communication—both in technological contexts and in cultural and creative fields.
