Story
Beginning in 2010, Charles found himself frustrated with the calculation tools used in industry, and he started the Blockpad project. He graduated and started work as a structural engineer, but ultimately left his job to work on Blockpad full time. Soon after the first release and first customers in 2018, EJ joined the team, seeing Blockpad's potential for his own work in agricultural machine design.
Since that first release, Blockpad has continued to grow, with thousands of users around the world. Today, Blockpad offers engineers a powerful alternative to Excel and Mathcad for clear, powerful calculations. We look forward to building on this solid foundation.
Based in our hometown of New Orleans, we are proud to be self-funded, founder owned, operated in the USA, and fully focused on bringing value to our customers.
Future
At Blockpad, we will continue delivering quality software that our customers can trust will always be available.
In this fast-changing world, no one knows what exactly engineering will look like in the future. Blockpad will continue developing features, including AI tools, to empower humans.
