About
Structural engineer based in Brisbane, Australia, with a Master's Degree in Civil Engineering – Structures from the Polytechnic University of Turin. Registered Engineer with the Order of Engineers of the Province of Lecce, Italy (Section A, Civil and Environmental sector). Since 2022 I have worked on bridges and viaducts, underground railway structures, retaining walls, diaphragm walls and deep foundations; since 2026 also on stadium structures, including construction-stage analysis and detailed 3D FEM verification of bespoke cast nodes. Since 2025 I also work part-time as an independent consultant on residential and steel structures.
What I can do for you, remotely and from your drawings:
- structural analysis and design with SAP2000, Midas Civil NX, Aztec, PRO_SAP and Idea Statica
- bridge and viaduct superstructures and substructures, seismic retrofitting
- retaining walls, diaphragm walls, deep foundations and box culverts
- residential, industrial and steel structures
- verification of existing bridges for exceptional loads, safety assessments of existing structures
- parametric modelling with Rhino and Grasshopper; Python, MATLAB, advanced Excel and VBA
How I work: you send drawings, loads and the scope; I send a written quote with the deliverables, the time and the fixed fee before starting. I work remotely and do not carry out site visits. I do not stamp drawings as a PE or CEng: my calculations support the engineer of record or the designer who submits them.
