About

I am a Civil 3D and CAD specialist with over 22 years of experience in topographic mapping, digital terrain modeling, and civil infrastructure documentation. My career spans full-cycle geodetic support — from field surveys and construction control to final CAD deliverables.

My core expertise includes:

Topographic mapping and digital terrain modeling (DTM/TIN) in Civil 3D

Earthwork volume calculations and grading design

Longitudinal profiles, cross-sections, and infrastructure documentation

Survey data processing from total stations (Leica TS02, TS06) and GPS/RTK equipment

*3D modeling and design in AutoCAD and Fusion 360*

I have extensive experience in construction quality control and compliance verification (SP, SNiP, GOST standards), as well as developing geodetic work plans (PPGR) and deformation monitoring programs for buildings and foundations.

In addition to Civil 3D, I work with AutoCAD (2D/3D) and Fusion 360 for 3D modeling, including 3D printing of topographic models and landscape design projects.

I combine field survey expertise with advanced office-based skills, allowing me to deliver accurate, construction-ready deliverables. I am comfortable working remotely and maintaining clear communication with engineering teams. I am looking for remote freelance opportunities where I can support infrastructure and construction projects with reliable Civil 3D and surveying services.
