Structural Engineer

Utilized engineering acumen to play an integral role in initiating complex finite-element models across a variety of building structures ranging in size from five to 28 stories. Served a key role in coordinating the earthquake-engineering blueprint for high-rise buildings. Mentored and coached three engineers tasked with utilizing ETABS and CSICOL. Proficient in the design of numerous structural components including reinforced and post-tensioned slabs, beams, columns, shear walls, shallow and deep foundations, and earth-retaining structures.
► Attained a 25% decrease in a project timeline through the strategic coordination of structural designs.
► Led the design of a 26-story building encompassing a large-scale floor space in addition to six 28-story blocks.
