Structural engineer + automation builder for complex civic infrastructure
I pair code-driven FEM workflows with deep code knowledge of CSA/ACI/IBC to deliver resilient plants, dams, and buildings ahead of schedule.
I’m a Vancouver-based structural engineer who owns the full stack of building delivery—concept, FEM modeling, detailing, and construction support—while writing Python, VBA, and Dynamo tools that compress the schedule. Recent programs range from LNG foundations and sea dams to post-disaster housing recoveries across Canada and the U.S.

A growing suite of structural calculation tools for quick, defensible answers. Clean UI, shareable links, and dynamic visuals tuned for day‑to‑day design decisions.
Python toolkit for SAP2000 model build, load cases/combinations, and results extraction—enabling repeatable, scriptable FEM workflows across projects.
Turns dozens of test PDFs into a two‑page summary with charts. Automates extraction, checks targets vs achieved, and flags air/slump range issues for quick QA.
Converts vendor PDF loads into SAFE/Excel and updates existing SAFE files automatically—removing hours of manual entry and minimizing transcription risk.
Visually compare two PDFs/images by color overlay and transparency. Ideal for drawing revisions, RFIs, and contract change reviews.

This course helps to understand the key concepts such as networking, storage, security, maintenance, logging and monitoring, application lifecycle, troubleshooting, API object primitives etc. It also help to grow the ability to establish basic use-cases for end users.
This course provides a broad introduction to machine learning, datamining, and statistical pattern recognition. Topics include: (i) Supervised learning (parametric/non-parametric algorithms, support vector machines, kernels, neural networks). (ii) Unsupervised learning (clustering, dimensionality reduction, recommender systems, deep learning). (iii) Best practices in machine learning (bias/variance theory; innovation process in machine learning and AI).
Instructed 3 coworkers to intermediate level in python usage for structural engineering workflows.
Tasked with creating Dynamo Scripts for efficient deployment of contract documents.
