Thomas A.

I am a dedicated Structural/Civil/MEP Engineer with over 10 years of international experience delivering high-quality structural engineering and BIM solutions for residential, commercial, and industrial projects. My expertise spans structural design and numerical analysis, as well as comprehensive BIM management, construction documentation, and digital fabrication. I collaborate with architects, civil engineers, and construction project managers to provide integrated solutions, from conceptual architectural and structural design to final building permit documentation.

Currently pursuing a Ph.D. in Structural Engineering focusing on structural optimization, I combine academic rigor with innovative, practical solutions. I leverage my extensive experience and multiple Autodesk Certified Professional (ACP) credentials in Revit for both Structural and Architectural Design, as well as 3-axis CAM in Fusion 360, to deliver projects that are both efficient and code-compliant.

Key Services:

Structural Engineering & Design:
- Comprehensive structural design for concrete, steel, and wood framing structures—including timber frames, wood trusses, and light gauge steel systems.
- Advanced structural analysis using FEA tools such as ETABS, SAP2000, RFEM, and Robot Structural Analysis for accurate load calculations, connection design, and performance evaluation.
- Production of detailed structural drawings, shop drawings, construction documents, and permit plans using AutoCAD and Autodesk Revit.

Building Information Modeling (BIM) & CAD:
- End-to-end BIM implementation, management, and process development—including scan-to-BIM for existing structures.
- Expert-level proficiency in Autodesk Revit (BIM, Revit Architecture, Revit Structural), enhanced by parametric design using Dynamo, Grasshopper, and Python scripting.
- Coordination with multidisciplinary teams to integrate architectural design, structural drafting, and construction documentation.

Manufacturing & Digital Fabrication:
-Development of BIM-to-Manufacturing workflows for projects ranging from structural steel detailing to wood design.
- Expertise in digital fabrication techniques, including Fusion 360 and Master CAM CNC programming, CNC machining, and CAD/CNC processes to create high-quality CNC furniture and construction components.
- Preparation of fabrication-ready part and assembly models using tools such as Fusion 360, SolidWorks, and SolidCam, ensuring seamless transition from digital model to physical product.
- Integration of advanced manufacturing processes into structural engineering projects, delivering detailed shop drawings and connection designs that meet stringent industry standards
