- Managed project planning and monitoring activities such as scheduling, resourcing, budgeting and invoicing for the industrial design scope at five Amtrak rail maintenance facilities.- Coordinated a twenty-person interdisciplinary team to design retrofits for an existing train car maintenance facility and a ground-up paint booth for MARTA (transit agency in Atlanta, GA) on time and within budget. Served as the primary client liaison. - Applied experience in building design and construction to expand Hatch’s service offerings within the US market. Advised on company hiring strategies, interviewed new staff and prepared bid proposals.

-Executed due diligence studies for commercial delivery-only commissary (“ghost”) kitchen facilities to evaluate investment risk of 40 existing buildings in central and eastern USA and Canada (eg. reducing the selling price of one building by ~$400k). Building materials included steel, concrete, masonry, wood, and antiquated building systems (eg. hollow clay tile, cinder concrete) -Conducted site visits, initiated field probing, performed existing building record searches, and produced schematic designs in coordination with in-house architects and engineers to optimize structural retrofit scope -Calculated rough order of magnitude (ROM) estimates of structural cost to inform real estate investment decisions and prevent the purchase of loss-making properties-Reviewed construction drawings by the Structural Engineers of Record (SEOR) and spearheaded value engineering solutions to reduce structural costs (eg. ~$100k savings in foundation costs on one property)

-Led construction administration activities on landmark art museum project encompassing the replacement of 30,000 square feet of skylights, renovation of attic access systems, and expansion of mechanical equipment rooms. Responsibilities include coordinating with the design team and general contractor, reviewing RFIs and submittals, and conducting site visits. The museum is an existing building with a long architectural history and requires special consideration for historical materials (eg. hollow clay tile, cinder concrete, clay masonry).-Facilitated data organization during construction administration process using digital technologies such as point cloud scanning, 360° Panono photography, and mobile data collection via Fulcrum

- Processed large data sets using Excel and Grasshopper scripts to obtain structural load demands on 500,000 square meter concrete raft foundation for a new airport in Mexico City- Led team of 5 engineers to review and stamp ~3,000 concrete shop drawings. The drawings were reviewed under tight time constraints set by the construction schedule. The review process was facilitated by leveraging tools in Bluebeam

- Analysed and designed low-rise and high-rise commercial steel framed buildings in the Bay Area, using ETABS and SAFE.
