Inspect. Draft. Analyze. Monitor.
Infrastructure across its full life.
Structural Design Technologist with 6+ years across infrastructure in Canada and India. I work end to end — field inspections, CAD drafting, structural analysis, and structural health monitoring — turning real conditions into precise, buildable engineering.
From field inspection to restoration delivery.
I've worked the full structural lifecycle — field inspection, structural analysis, drafting, and construction coordination — with a focus on bridges and civil infrastructure across Canada.
- Delivered restoration drawing packages for 12+ timber bridges across Atlantic Canada, with engineering documentation accepted by regulatory reviewers without major revision cycles.
- Produced shop drawings and structural restoration details for active bridge rehabilitation projects, improving constructability clarity between engineering and field teams.
- Conducted Level II timber bridge inspections directly informing maintenance planning and capital budgeting decisions for infrastructure owners.
- Performed structural analysis in LUSAS to validate restoration concepts before fabrication and installation.
- Developed and monitored structural health monitoring systems using Resensys sensors, converting live bridge performance data into maintenance recommendations.
- Coordinated with engineers and stakeholders to refine drawing details and maintain documentation accuracy.
- Built 3D structural steel models in SDS2 supporting production of shop drawings and connection details for active construction projects.
- Reviewed drawing packages for constructability conflicts before fabrication under senior detailer supervision.
- Contributed to fabrication documentation and material take-offs supporting steel detailing workflows.
- Coordinated on-site structural execution across multiple project phases, maintaining alignment between design drawings and field conditions.
- Inspected reinforcement placement, concrete pours, and structural components during critical construction stages.
- Resolved coordination issues between contractors and consultants to maintain project progress without escalation delays.
- Produced quantity take-offs, cost estimates, and compliance documentation supporting project delivery.
- Developed practical constructability awareness working directly with field crews and structural drawings under live site conditions.
From inspection through to as-built documentation.
Every section connects: inspection findings shape the analysis, analysis drives the drawings, drawings become the as-builts, and monitoring confirms performance in service.
