What I Do
Designing resilient structures
Building Structures
Steel framing, lateral and wind load systems, seismic design, and structural analysis for complex commercial and civic building projects.
Healthcare Facilities
Mission-critical structural design for medical campuses, proton therapy centers, and life-sciences facilities with stringent performance demands.
Connection Design
Steel and cold-formed connection systems — moment, base-plate, skewed beam, and bracing — for industrial, warehouse, and high-rise structures.
Construction Administration
RFI evaluation, submittal review, field issue resolution, and conformance verification to keep complex projects aligned with structural intent.
