About
I’m a façade engineer specialising in curtain walls and cladding, with 8 years in engineering and 4 years delivering façade packages for real buildings in Russia and Saudi Arabia. My portfolio includes two large sports arenas (including the 15,000-seat UMMC Arena in Yekaterinburg), a city-centre museum, high-rise residential complexes in Moscow and Kazan, and shopping malls in Riyadh. To date I’ve produced more than 500 shop drawing sheets.
I’m Schüco-trained and spent over two years at one of Schüco’s largest partners in Russia, and I’ve worked across the full Schüco and Alutech product ranges: curtain walls, windows, doors, sliding systems and unitized façades. I then moved to a façade fabrication and installation contractor in Riyadh. That means I understand both sides: the design intent the consultant wants to see, and the practical details the factory and site team need to build it without delays or waste.
Curtain walls
• Stick and unitized curtain wall systems
• Steel-supported glazing with aluminium cover caps
• Entrance doors, windows, sliding systems and skylights on steel trusses
• Elevations, sections, nodes, anchoring details, mullion/transom schedules
• Cutting lists, profile optimization and machining schedules in SchuCal
Cladding
• Aluminium and ACP cassettes, including corner and special-shape panels
• Mirror-polished stainless steel cladding
• Ventilated façades and agraffe (hidden-fix) systems
• Panel and cassette schedules, sheet nesting, bracket and sub-frame layouts
Engineering
• Structural and wind-load calculations for curtain walls, pylon cladding, brackets and cassettes
• 3D modelling in SolidWorks (skylight trusses, cladding, complex geometry)
• Material take-offs and material requests for factory and site
• Interfaces with structure, insulation, flashings and waterproofing
Systems I’ve worked with
• Schüco (full range): FW 50+ / FW 50+ HD / FW 60+ and FWS stick curtain walls · AOC 50 / AOC 60 cover-cap systems on steel and timber · AWS windows · ADS doors, including automatic and anti-panic hardware · ASS sliding and lift-and-slide systems · SchuCal for cutting lists and machining
• Alutech (full range): ALT F50 stick curtain wall · ALT EF100 unitized façade · ALT W62 / W72 thermally broken windows and doors · ALT C48 cold systems · ALT VR26 louvres
• Others: ALUPCO, Technal, HILTI MFT / MFT-HPE agraffe systems
Software: AutoCAD, Revit, SolidWorks, SchuCal, Lira, Ansys, MS Office. Currently learning Autodesk Inventor (iLogic) and Logikal. I pick up new tools fast and I’m happy to work to your templates, layers and drawing standards.
Why work with me
• Drawings that are ready for fabrication, not just for approval
• I catch site-survey mismatches and design clashes before they reach the factory
• Clear communication in English, Russian and Arabic
• Gulf time zone, so I overlap with clients in the Middle East, Europe and Russia
