About
Structural designer and BIM specialist with over 15 years of experience in structural projects, construction supervision, and process management. Since 2011, I've worked as a Project Designer, producing structural modeling and detailing for reinforced concrete, precast concrete, and metallic structures, while also implementing and training BIM methodologies across design teams.
My core expertise is in structural BIM modeling in Revit — building accurate, construction-ready models and detailed drawings for reinforced concrete, precast, and steel structures, including foundations, pile caps, beams, columns, and connections. I also have a background in civil construction supervision and AutoCAD-based architectural/structural surveying, giving me a practical understanding of how designs translate to the construction site.
To support modeling and detailing workflows, I develop custom tools (pyRevit) that speed up repetitive tasks — but my focus remains on delivering clean, standards-compliant structural models and documentation, and on helping engineering offices adopt consistent BIM methodology through hands-on training.
Available for: structural BIM modeling (concrete, precast, steel), structural detailing and documentation, BIM methodology implementation, and Revit training for engineering teams.
