I create coordinated structural and architectural drawing sets for sustainable, constructible buildings.
What I'm looking for
I've developed coordinated architectural and structural drawing sets at Johnson Chou Inc., integrating transfer beams and infill steel into existing buildings while meeting OBC and NBCC requirements.
At PCL Construction, I managed BIM 360 QA/QC workflows for 250+ deficiencies, coordinated site crews and consultants, and redlined 100+ drawing sets to support RFIs, change orders, and as-builts.
My work combines structural analysis, BIM coordination, drafting, and visualization. I also designed an award-winning modular prefabricated structural system using recycled rubble for post-conflict reconstruction.
