About

Strengths: I begin each project by envisioning the big picture and breaking it down into each required detail. I provide high-quality deliverables while meeting deadlines and budget expectations.

Skillsets: As well as working as a Senior Civil/Structural/Architectural (C/S/A) Designer and Design Checker, I also have practical field experience as a C/S/A Field Engineer, Underground Construction and Quality Assurance Coordinator, Project Manager, and Civil Superintendent.

Accomplishments: Design projects include residential, underground, earthworks, highways, bridges, waterways, piling, offshore rigs, commercial and industrial buildings, reinforced concrete, and structural steel. I helped design and then led C/S/A field engineering on a $9.2 billion S.A.G.D. project.

Projects: Residential design for new builds and renovations; commercial and industrial buildings, mining plants, steam assisted gravity drainage (S.A.G.D.), Liquified Natural Gas (LNG) plant, refineries, hydroelectric dam, subsea pipeline, and offshore drilling rigs.

Accomplishments: I have trained and coached Architectural Technologists in the use of AutoCAD. I have mentored and coached designers and engineers and acted as a multi-discipline liaison in the design office and the field.
