Work Experience
- 3D Point Cloud Modeling & Reality Capture: Developed detailed 3D structural models from point cloud scan data using Register360, AutoCAD, Revit, and CloudWorx for clash detection and erection drawing generation on industrial and residential builds.
- Process Automation & Scripting: Developed custom AutoLISP scripts and standardized block libraries, automating repetitive drafting tasks and reducing overall project drafting cycle times by 25%.
- Code Compliance & Steel Detailing: Detailed steel connections and produced fabrication-ready shop drawings adhering strictly to the Ontario Building Code (OBC), CSA S16 (Steel Structures), and CSA A23.3 (Concrete Structures).
- Quality Control & Engineering Support: Performed Quality Control (QC) reviews on structural drawings, compiled Material Takeoffs (MTOs), and drafted formal site/field reports for the Engineer of Record (EOR).
- Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partnered with architects, consulting engineers, steel fabricators, and site contractors to resolve constructability challenges rapidly.
- Full Lifecycle Project Ownership: Founded and operated a general contracting firm, managing execution for 3 residential multi-unit developments valued at $3.5M USD from pitch to handover.
- On-Site Structural Engineering: Served as lead site engineer supervising structural piling operations (including 3-pile column configurations), earthwork, RCC steel reinforcement spacing, structural framing, and stormwater drainage.
- Sustainable Engineering & Passive Design: Integrated rainwater harvesting systems and passive cooling layouts via strategic material selection to enhance thermal efficiency.
- Crisis Management: Maintained operational continuity during COVID-19 lockdowns, restructuring material procurement to deliver projects on time with zero cost overruns.
- Commercial Operations: Managed financial planning, labor payroll, quantity billing, client change orders, and regulatory approvals.
- Rapid Career Advancement: Promoted to Department Manager within 2 months after mastering operational workflows and filling leadership vacancies.
- Team Leadership: Directed, scheduled, and mentored a team of 15+ associates in a fast-paced retail environment.
- Supply Chain Management: Managed sales forecasting, inventory replenishment, and vendor communications to consistently hit store targets.
