Waterloo, Ontario, Canada

• Detailed structural steel, concrete, and masonry elements (beams, columns, walls, footings, etc.) for the 2020 Aurora Cultural Centre in Revit and analyzed them in various design software (Ftool, WoodWorks, MASS, spColumn, spSlab)• Designed irregular and asymmetrical bolted steel baseplate connections based on yield-line failure pattern analysis• Created interactive MS Excel design aids compliant with CSA, ASCE, and EN design codes for structural steel and timber elements (beams, columns, floors, cables, etc.) to facilitate the design of architecture for playgrounds • Modelled concrete columns and shear walls of residential and commercial buildings in ETABS; dowel and rebar arrangement for adequate transfer of forces between members designed and analyzed using S-CONCRETE• Designed a monumental staircase with consideration for heavy pedestrian traffic by conducting vibration analyses

Toronto, Canada Area

• Conducted gravity load and lateral analyses on high-rise residential buildings by constructing 3D models in ETABS• Designed steel and reinforced concrete elements including beam and column members, footings, retaining walls, baseplate connections, and parapet railings in SAP2000 and SAFE for the 2019 Niagara Falls Entertainment Centre• Analyzed the buckling and shear capacity of a cantilevered steel truss pedestrian bridge leading into Toronto’s Princess Margaret Cancer Center supported by a steel column and bolted wall plate connection using spColumn and SAP2000• Reviewed existing structural plans to authorize and supervise 30+ concrete core drillings for infrastructure renovation

Ontario, Canada

• Prepared technical reports by reviewing shop drawings and CAD plans to determine the most effective construction design based on cost-benefit analyses and compliance of engineering specifications & standards• Modelled mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) systems of $18M waste-water & odour treatment facility plant in Rivet by reviewing existing P&ID MEP schematics and on-site physical configurations • Managed tendering, contracting, planning, budgeting, and construction process for $38M dam rehabilitation program• Identified project risks using a probability-impact matrix and created unique risk management plans for mitigation• Created an interactive Excel worksheet that projects the specific discharge of sluice gates at various dams to quantify allowable decrease in flow throughout the Georgian Bay during cofferdam construction • Reviewed shop drawings, technical reports, and submittals in accordance to contract drawings and specifications

Ontario, Canada

• Conducted field activities for soil & water remediation projects and environmental site assessments & investigations• Drafted groundwater contour plans and analyzed potential water-based impacts using Surfer and AutoCAD• Automated quality control & assurance process of sorting and comparing soil property data sets by creating an Excel macro function in VBA; reduced average completion time from 4+ hours to minutes• Drafted 2D floor plan of company layout in AutoCAD and modelled 3D interior feature layout in Autodesk Inventor• Identified risk areas based on field environmental assessments; modelled floodplains in HEC-RAS & Surfer and drafted topographic flood contours & in-ground cross-sections in AutoCAD for environmental impact presentations• Produced 680+ high-quality AutoCAD risk & remediation, soil excavation, subsurface groundwater flow, and environmental site & boundary plans significantly before required deadlines in a high-volume work environment

Brantford, On
