EMI is a network of Christian design professionals who develop people, design structures, and construct facilities which serve communities and the Church. Our vision is to see people restored by God and the world restored through design.As the lead structural engineer and a project leader for the Southeast Asia office, I lead diverse and multidisciplinary teams of design professionals to provide engineering to churches, orphanages, NGOs and rural communities. We use our professional skills to to empower those groups to do more of what they do best -- loving people like Jesus did.• Managed multi-year projects as large as $2.5MM from initial programming and conceptual design through construction and commissioning.• Led multi-disciplinary teams of 3-10 designers to provide engineering & architectural design of schools, churches, hospitals, children’s homes, and centers for NGOs & charitable organizations.• Designed almost 50 structures across SE Asia. Structures included multistory RC moment frame buildings, long-span gymnasium and auditorium roofs, and a 8m cantilever retaining wall in remote high-seismic zone.
