About
Experienced Structural Design Engineer and Tooling Design Engineer specializing in 3D BIM modeling, structural steel design, and industrial plant expansions. I deliver complete IFC drawing packages, clash detection, and accurate as-built models from point-cloud data using Revit, AutoCAD Plant 3D, Advanced Steel, Inventor, and Navisworks.
Recent highlights include leading full 3D structural modeling and a 20-sheet IFC package for a new multi-floor industrial structure on an multi million dollar plant expansion, developing company-wide Revit template now used across Georgia-Pacific projects, and designing critical tooling and fixtures for large BlueBird satellite phased-array structures.
I bring strong skills in FEA, multi-discipline coordination in Autodesk Construction Cloud, Bill of Materials generation, and end-to-end project ownership from pre-design through construction. Available for industrial structural design, plant layout, steel detailing, point-cloud modeling, and aerospace tooling projects.

Structural Design Engineer
Georgia Pacific · Full-time
Oct 2024 –
Present
1 yrs 10 mos
Sweetwater, TX, United States
Led full 3D Revit structural modeling and delivered a complete 20-sheet IFC
drawing package (general notes, plans, sections, details, and typical details) for a new
6-floor 70’ × 30’ × 80’ industrial structure on an $80M ESP-to-Baghouse plant expansion.
●
Completed the entire steel and foundation package on an aggressive 2-week
deadline by utilizing Leica point-cloud scans to model existing steel conditions, creating
accurate demo plans and new steel/foundation plans for field teams.
●
Coordinated multi-discipline integration in Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC)
and Navisworks with mechanical and electrical teams to resolve floor openings, tie-ins,
cable trays, and equipment placement while ensuring full structural integrity and code
compliance.
●
Generated accurate Bill of Materials (BOM) using Revit and Autodesk Forma
Takeoff, enabling precise pre-construction cost management and contributing to over $10
million in project savings through early clash detection and system integration.
●
Developed and implemented a company-wide Revit and Inventor template, BIM
standards, and typical detail library (steel, foundations, catwalks, handrails, stairs, and
walkways) that are now the standard across all Georgia-Pacific projects, improving
consistency and accelerating project starts.
●
Owned end-to-end 3D BIM ownership from pre-design through IFC issuance on
multiple large-scale industrial expansions, including the $800 Monticello plant expansion
and $18M Dudley rebuild.
●
Conduct regular reviews and updates of layouts based on project progress and
changes. -

Tooling Design Engineer
AST & Science LLC · Full-time
Oct 2023 –
Oct 2024
1 yrs
Midland, TX, United States
Designed and developed critical tooling and fixtures supporting the manufacture
and assembly of BlueBird satellites — the largest commercial communications arrays ever
deployed in low Earth orbit — enabling production of massive phased-array structures for
direct-to-smartphone space-based broadband.
●
Developed comprehensive tooling solutions for satellite structural testing,
integration, and encapsulation/packaging for launch, ensuring safe handling, precise
alignment, and compliance with rigorous aerospace environmental and mechanical
requirements.
●
Coordinated with cross-functional teams (satellite design, structural analysis,
manufacturing, production, quality assurance, and test engineering) to translate complex
requirements into manufacturable tooling designs.
●
Created detailed 2D drawings and 3D CAD models; performed fit/draft analysis,
material selection, model integrity checks, and Finite Element Analysis (FEA) stress
simulations to validate structural performance under launch loads and operational
conditions.
●
Generated Bills of Materials (BOMs), procured parts, and supported full lifecycle
from design through fabrication, assembly, and verification of tooling used in satellite
testing and launch packaging.
●
Brainstormed and implemented innovative design solutions to resolve engineering
challenges, accelerating the build and test cadence for multiple large satellites. -
