• 1 - 100 Employee

• Associate Engineer

  • Jan 2017 - Jun 2018

  At the Structural Shop Consulting Engineers, I work under licensed structural engineers to perform structural analysis and design for a variety of structures. In practice, I work with a number of different materials including structural steel, concrete, masonry, wood, and light gauge steel. I have worked on numerous new construction projects including single and multi-family structures, multi-use commercial structures, and industrial warehouses. In addition, I perform structural investigations and work on projects involving the renovation and rehabilitation of existing structures. I have also been involved in various miscellaneous structural engineering projects such as shoring, earth retention, fall protection, and progressive demolition. Aside from this, I produce construction documents for various clients. I use AutoCAD to produce structural drawings and a variety of structural analysis software to perform calculations and compile calculation packets. Furthermore, I am involved with putting together proposals for potential projects and writing reports. It is my responsibility to develop strong relationships with different clients and work closely with them to ensure the successful completion of each project.



Larson Engineering

• Chicago, IL

• Engineering Intern

  • May 2015 - Aug 2016

  During the summer of 2015 and 2016, I was a structural engineering intern for Larson Engineering, Inc. I was responsible for performing structural calculations and compiling reports for a variety of structures including solar panel arrays, hoists, platforms, stairs, stacks, and backboards. I was also involved with the curtain wall department where I was responsible for the design of aluminum mullions, glass structures, and panel systems. Occasionally, I would be involved with shop drawing reviews for steel connections and foundation reinforcing bars. I became familiar with structural design programs such as RISA and RAM. In addition, I used Math-cad and Microsoft Excel to create templates and spreadsheets to perform calculations. As an intern at Larson, I also performed a number of structural investigations to determine framing member sizes, verify bearing walls, and measure steel bar joists.



UIUC CEE Department

• Urbana-Champaign, Illinois Area

• Undergraduate Research Assistant

  • May 2014 - May 2015

  As an undergraduate research assistant, I worked with graduate students and professors to study different varieties of concrete. I was responsible using a sieve to separate different sizes of aggregates, determining dry and saturated weights of materials, and preparing different concrete mixes for testing. I was also responsible for preparing test cylinders and performing tests on wet concrete to determine properties such as slump as well as unit weight. Once the cylinders were cured, I would perform additional tests to determine compressive and shear strength. During my time working with the department, we analyzed the effect of different distributions of aggregates as well the use of recycled construction materials and fiber reinforcement. In addition, I would determine the void ratio and porosity of different samples by polishing cross-sections, staining the surface, and applying a powder to fill the voids. These surfaces were scanned and a computer program was used to calculate the area percentage of voids. One specific project I was involved with was the study of roller-compacted concrete and how different variations of the mix affects the strength. Roller-compacted concrete involves manual compression of wet concrete and is often used for airport runways and other high strength applications.
