What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can deliver practical, code-compliant structural solutions, collaborate with multidisciplinary teams, mentor engineers, and work on diverse commercial, residential, and industrial projects.

I am a Licensed Professional Engineer with over a decade of hands-on experience in commercial, residential, and light industrial structural design, focused on delivering constructible, efficient, and code-compliant solutions. I lead a small, flexible team that partners with licensed engineers and architects across 40+ states to provide complete stamped structural packages and responsive collaboration.

My background includes design and analysis for steel, concrete, and wood structures, foundation and anchorage systems, cost estimation, and field coordination for new construction, renovations, and industrial facilities. I leverage software such as ETABS, SAP2000, STAAD Pro, RAM Structural System, SAFE, Revit Structure, Tekla, and IDEA StatiCa to produce thorough calculations, drawings, and documentation for plan review and stamping.
