• Structural & Civil Engineer Florida Consulting Engineers · Contract Oct 2024 – Present 1 yrs 11 mos Boca Raton, FL, United States I design and calculate the structural integrity of beams, columns, and foundations for residential homes, ensuring compliance with relevant building codes and safety standards. I perform detailed field inspections of structural components (columns, formwork, rebar, beams) to verify construction quality and adherence to design specifications, and review shop drawings for precast slabs, roof trusses, fabricated steel, rebar, and piles, along with concrete and grout mixes against specifications and plans. I also conduct inspections and analyses for concrete restoration projects, evaluating roof slabs affected by rebar rust and exposure to determine appropriate repair methodologies, and review engineering designs and specifications for feasibility and optimal performance.
  
  In addition to structural engineering, I handle civil engineering design and plans: calculating and designing exfiltration trench drain systems and retention areas, producing utility plans for sewer and water connections on single-family homes and duplexes, determining finish floor elevations based on flood zones and local city codes, incorporating required city details and notes, responding to city comments via narrative responses, performing civil site inspections, and reviewing catch basin shop drawings.

• Electrical BIM Coordinator Sanveo Inc · Full-time Jan 2016 – Dec 2017 1 yrs 11 mos San Francisco, CA, United States During my time at Sanveo Inc., I managed the project's electrical 3D model, ensuring it accurately reflected all specifications and requirements. I produced and coordinated the installation drawings for the electrical trade, facilitating efficient and accurate on-site work. A key aspect of my role involved proactively detecting clashes between electrical power and lighting models with those of other trades within the 3D environment, and then developing effective solutions to resolve these conflicts. Furthermore, I actively managed task lists, Requests for Information (RFIs), and the overall 3D model to maintain project organization and communication. I also assisted in coordinating the project's electrical 3D model to guarantee comprehensive specification adherence, calculated the size of all the underground trenches for electrical conduits, and confirmed the structural seismic supports for conduit installations. Additionally, I supported the preparation of the 3D electrical model for its future use in operational and facility management.
  
  Representative project:
  
  San Francisco International Airport Terminal 1 Redevelopment Boarding Area B, San Francisco, CA - On this significant 619,150 square foot undertaking, my primary responsibility was managing the electrical 3D model. I ensured the model adhered to all project specifications and requirements, serving as a central source of information for the electrical scope. I personally produced and coordinated the installation drawings for the electrical trade, providing clear and accurate guidance for on-site installation. A critical aspect of my work involved the proactive detection and resolution of clashes between the electrical power and lighting models and the models of other trades, preventing potential construction issues. I also managed project task lists and RFIs related to the electrical scope, alongside maintaining the integrity and accuracy of the 3D model. My engineering tasks included calculating the size of all the underground trenches required for the routing of electrical conduits and confirming the adequacy of structural seismic supports designed for these conduits. Additionally, I assisted in the coordination of the overall electrical 3D model and contributed to its preparation for future use in airport operations and facility management.
• Structural Steel Detailer Schuff Steel International · Full-time Jan 2014 – Dec 2014 11 mos Miami, FL, United States During my time at Schuff Steel International, I actively coordinated structural steel construction activities among the engineer of record, detailer, and erector to ensure seamless project execution. I conducted on-site monitoring of structural steel erection, meticulously reviewing Non-Conformance Reports (NCRs) to maintain quality standards. Furthermore, I performed thorough reviews of shop drawings for structural steel members to verify accuracy and compliance with design specifications. I also played a key role in coordinating the Building Information 3D Model of structural steel components, and I designed and detailed specific connections between escalators and a steel beam.
  
  Representative project:
  
  Brickell City Center, Miami, FL - During my involvement with this large-scale mixed-use development, I focused on the structural steel components. My engineering tasks included coordinating the structural steel construction between the engineer of record, detailer, and erector to ensure efficient workflow and adherence to project timelines. I also conducted on-site monitoring of the structural steel erection, reviewing NCRs to verify that the work met quality standards. Furthermore, I performed detailed reviews of shop drawings for various structural steel members. Notably, I designed and detailed a specific connection to integrate escalators with a supporting steel beam within the structure. Additionally, I coordinated the Building Information 3D Model of the structural steel elements and generated RFIs for the engineer of record and FDRs for subcontractors.
• Precast Detailer Kassian Dyck International · Full-time Jan 2013 – Dec 2013 11 mos Cupertino, CA, United States During my time at Kassian Dyck, I focused on the detailed modeling of 3D precast building components and custom precast elements, ensuring all necessary information was embedded within the models. I generated general arrangement drawings to clearly communicate the layout and relationships of the concrete parts. My responsibilities also included producing comprehensive shop drawings for a variety of precast concrete elements, such as shear walls, columns, slabs, and beams. Furthermore, I created detailed part drawings specifically for the connections between the various precast concrete members. I calculated the size of allowable penetrations and spacing of rebar reinforcement. I produced quantity takeoff material estimates for the precast structural elements.
  
  Representative project:
  
  Apple Spaceship Campus, Cupertino, CA - On this large and architecturally complex development, my primary focus was on the precast concrete elements. I was responsible for modeling and detailing 3D precast building components and unique custom precast features, ensuring the models contained all relevant information for fabrication and installation. I produced general arrangement drawings that illustrated the overall layout of the concrete components within the structure. I generated detailed shop drawings for various precast concrete members, including shear walls, columns, slabs, and beams, providing all necessary dimensions and specifications for manufacturing. My work also involved creating part drawings that precisely detailed the connections between the different precast concrete members, ensuring structural integrity and ease of assembly.
