With over 11 years of professional experience as a Structural Design Engineer, I've honed my
skills in multinational settings across various geo-global locations, contributing to the success of
numerous mega projects. My expertise extends to a deep understanding of industry standards
such as AASHTO 2020, ACI 318-19, SBC 301-18, SBC 303-18, and ISO 9001 compliance. Proficient
in a range of software including Revit, Etabs, CSI Bridge, SAP2000, AutoCAD, Idea Statica, Concise
Beam, Prokon, Quick R Wall, CSI SAFE, and more, I bring a comprehensive toolkit to deliver
exceptional results in structural design and analysis along with Design and Shop drawings.

❖ To resolve technical issues at site in parallel to shop drawings. Construction is executed at site,
due to issues and constraints at site, Technical decisions are taken to amend the shop drawings
i.e. If water-table encounters, footing was changed from isolated to raft at site. Some of the
Wall panels required openings due to MEP team requirements, changed shop drawings at site.
Relocation of anchors due to mismatching at the site because of survey errors.

loadings, and wind gusts for RCC and Prestressed structures, ensuring compliance with exposure
categories and safety standards.
❖ Utilized SAFE software for comprehensive foundation design, covering strip, mat, and isolated
foundations, while meticulously verifying against various bearing capacities and spring modulus
to prevent punching shear and bearing capacity failures.
❖ Demonstrated expertise in CSI Bridge for HL93 Vehicle analysis, incorporating dynamic impact
assessments and adhering to AASHTO LRFD standards, ensuring optimal prestressed girder
design with precise tendon configurations and jacking force calculations.
❖ Employed Idea Statica software to assess steel member connections, meticulously evaluating
plates, bolts, and weld connections to determine necessary quantities, lengths, and anchorage
lengths, while ensuring steel element stresses remain within acceptable limits.
❖ Engaged in detailed analysis and optimization of structural components, employing a diverse
range of software tools and methodologies to ensure structural integrity, compliance with
industry standards, and optimal performance under various loading conditions.
❖ Led and mentored a team of draftsmen in producing comprehensive design packages, including
reinforcement and formwork drawings, and facilitated submission to third-party consultants for
review, ensuring accuracy and compliance with project specifications.
❖ Diligently addressed feedback received from third-party consultants on design packages,
overseeing necessary revisions and ensuring adherence to quality standards before
resubmission, leading to successful acceptance and approval.
❖ Collaborated closely with MEP and architectural teams to synchronize design changes across
disciplines, ensuring seamless integration within design packages and minimizing conflicts
during the construction phase.
❖ Actively participated in meetings with consultants to discuss design submission and approval
progress, providing insights and updates on project milestones, contributing to efficient project
coordination and timely approvals.
