I works closely with other engineers, owners and property managers in order to find ways to protect and preserve their assets while mitigating potential liabilities. I work within several areas of engineering: *Fiber Reinforced Polymers (FRP) *Construction Litigation *Claims Consulting for insurance companies *Water Investigation *Hail Damage *Parking Garage Inspection *Existing Building Analysis *Building Restoration *Specialty Structural DesignI can restore building functionally and construction mistakes through Fiber Reinforced Polymers (FRP). He utilizes all aspects of the FRP applications: rods, wraps, anchors and laminates. Utilizing FRP can help reduce the owners downtime on project, minimize labor and maximize existing space. FRP can be used in a variety of situations. FRP can be used for axial, shear and moment strengthening. These applications range from, residential basement walls, parking garages, manufacturing facilities, hotels, bridges etc.

Mar 2015 - Aug 2017
I have experience in designing and analyzing building and non-building structures including boiler buildings, pipe racks and auxiliary buildings, some located in severe seismic zones. I also have proficiency in static and dynamic foundations. I have overseen projects through all stages; including estimating, scheduling, and the completion of the punch lists. Currently, I am designing foundations and structures in Revit to expedite the design and construction schedule. Being able to design in real time gives everyone on the project team the ability to visualize the site which reduces error.
