Dylan Dropinski

Dylan Dropinski is a Commissioning Project Manager at BranchPattern, where no two days—and no two projects—are ever quite the same. Whether he’s crafting a Cx plan, coordinating with owners and subs, or jumping into documentation and testing, Dylan brings structure to the chaos. With a sharp eye for technical detail and a big-picture mindset, he helps buildings hit performance targets and actually work the way they’re supposed to.

Armed with a master’s in architectural engineering (with a focus in lighting and electrical systems), Dylan brings a well-rounded lens to every task, from design reviews and performance testing to guiding contractors through resolution meetings. His experience managing teams of all sizes taught him how to communicate clearly, stay organized under pressure, and get results without ever losing his cool. He’s proud of the work he’s done since joining BranchPattern, especially the chance to grow quickly, study abroad in Italy, and even win second place in the Howard Brandston Lighting Design Competition.

“Money is replaceable. Make memories.” That’s Dylan’s philosophy and he’s built a lifestyle around it. He’s surprisingly good at getting out of travel binds, thanks to years of hopping airlines and piecing together routes to far-flung destinations with a clear head and zero panic. He trains like a novice strongman, not to compete, but for functional strength that carries over into hiking, everyday life, and the occasional chance to impress the kids in his family. Speaking of which, his nieces and nephew have officially named him the world’s best uncle, and honestly, they’re not wrong. Whether he’s commissioning a building or planning his next big adventure, Dylan brings steady focus, quiet confidence, and just enough fun to keep things interesting.
