ETABuddy - ETABS Diagnostic Toolkit hero
ETABuddy - ETABS Diagnostic Toolkit

ETABS is the industry-standard software for structural analysis of buildings, but its warning system is notoriously cryptic. A single model run can produce hundreds of warnings scattered across log files, each requiring cross-referencing PDFs, forum posts, and tribal knowledge to diagnose. I built ETABuddy to collapse that entire workflow into a single command. My Role Sole developer. Self-initiated project - identified the problem from daily frustration with ETABS warning diagnosis and built the complete solution end-to-end.

AI Design Companion hero
AI Design Companion

Design documentation is one of the first things cut when project budgets are tight - but it is also one of the most valuable artifacts for construction support, peer review, and future reference. I built an AI-agent tool that captures the complete design trail automatically as a byproduct of the design process itself, requiring zero additional time from the engineer. My Role Sole developer. Self-initiated project - identified the documentation gap and built the solution end-to-end.

Code Comparison Tool hero
Code Comparison Tool

When a new edition of a building code is published, engineers must understand every change that affects their practice. Traditionally this means reading both editions side by side - a process that takes days for a major code like the NBCC or BCBC. I built a tool that automates this comparison at the individual clause level, with AI-powered summarization that tells you not just what changed, but whether it matters.
