About

I am a structural steel detailer and Tekla specialist with over 15 years of experience in complex steel structure projects. My background includes power plants, steel pipe towers, industrial buildings, high-rise structures, heavy steel frames, and offshore structures such as jackets and substations.

What sets me apart is my hands-on construction and project management experience. I understand how steel structures are actually built on site, which allows me to create accurate, practical, and constructible models and drawings. This helps reduce clashes, avoid costly revisions, and improve overall project efficiency.

I specialize in Tekla modeling, shop drawings, connection detailing, and coordination with engineers and fabricators. I am comfortable working with international standards and can deliver clear, fabrication-ready drawings.

I focus on quality, clear communication, and meeting deadlines. I am confident in supporting your project from modeling to fabrication with reliable and professional results.
