ETABuddy - ETABS Diagnostic Toolkit

Tue, 07 Apr 2026 10:00:00 -0700

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.

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.

Code Comparison Tool

Thu, 22 Jan 2026 10:00:00 -0700

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.
