Experience

Head of Structural Engineering Constructem · Full-time Sep 2025 – Present 8 mos ON, Canada - Directed a cross-functional team of 15 engineers and detailers, overseeing QA/QC processes that improved final delivery time by 87%.

- Ensured 100% code compliance across all designs, specializing in ASCE, NBCC, and EN for steel structures in high-seismic/wind regions.

- Provided expert oversight in 3D/FEA modeling (STAAD Pro, SAP2000, ETABS) for large-scale industrial and commercial steel projects.
Director Operation AND Engineers & Co. · Self-employed Apr 2025 – Present 1 yrs 1 mos CA, United States - Lead the strategic direction and technical execution for a team of structural engineers, overseeing the delivery of 100+ projects annually across commercial, industrial, and specialized infrastructure sectors.

- Spearheaded the design and analysis of high-rise steel framed structures (e.g., a 20-story residential tower), optimizing material use by 15% through advanced FEA modeling (STAAD Pro/ETABS).

- Managed the end-to-end structural process for heavy industrial facilities, ensuring code compliance (AISC, Eurocode) for complex vibratory loads and crane systems.

- Expertly utilized software like IDEA STATICA and TEKLA to detail and verify complex moment-resisting connections and non-standard geometries, reducing fabrication errors by 20%.

- Successfully coordinated structural deliverables with MEP and Architectural teams using BIM/Revit to resolve 50+ inter-disciplinary clashes prior to construction.
Lead Structure Engineer D'Zynerz, Ltd. · Full-time Nov 2023 – Jul 2024 8 mos Medicine Hat, AB, Canada - Led design for residential and commercial structures in Canada, autonomously managing all phases from conceptual design to final analysis.

- Optimized material quantities through strength and serviceability analyses, resulting in an average project cost reduction of 15% for clients.
Structure Engineer Terra Anz Pty. Ltd. · Full-time Aug 2022 – Oct 2023 1 yrs 2 mos NSW, Australia - Designed multi-material structures (RCC, Steel, and Timber) while strictly adhering to a diverse range of international codes (ASCE, AISC, BS, EN, NBCC).

- Delivered complete construction packages (conceptual design through detailed construction documents) utilizing AutoCAD, Revit, TEKLA, and Bluebeam.

Other experience

Structural Steel Detailing & Fabrication Shop Drawings A fabrication shop contacted me after a previous detailer’s drawings resulted in multiple field-fit errors, halting a multi-million dollar project. The challenge was to audit and recreate the connection details for a complex geometric roof structure where every angle was unique. My expert solution was to build a high-fidelity 3D BIM model to "clash-detect" every bolt and plate before they hit the shop floor. I delivered a refined set of shop drawings and NC files that were so precise the erectors reported a 100% fit rate on-site, effectively turning a potential legal nightmare into a streamlined construction success.
Pre-Engineered Building (PEB) & Industrial Steel Design In a recent large-scale industrial project, the client faced a significant budget overrun due to an over-engineered steel frame that was too heavy for the local soil conditions. The challenge was to reduce the total steel weight by 20% while still meeting strict AISC seismic and wind load requirements for a 150-foot clear span. My expert solution involved a complete redesign using tapered web members and a high-efficiency bracing system. By performing a non-linear buckling analysis, I optimized the frame to be lighter yet stiffer, saving the client thousands in material costs and ensuring a rapid, "bolt-on" assembly process on-site.
