Lead Structural Designer | Steel & Concrete Structure Specialist I serve as Lead Structural Designer, delivering end-to-end structural engineering solutions for complex industrial and commercial projects. My expertise centers on steel structure design, connection analysis, and Pre-Engineered Buildings (PEB) — from initial modeling through final fabrication-ready drawings. 🔩 Steel Structure Design & Analysis I model, analyze, and design PEB structures, heavy crane sheds, hangars, multi-level parking structures, and industrial buildings using ETABS, SAP2000, and STAAD Pro. Every design is optimized for structural efficiency and cost-effectiveness without compromising safety. ⚙️ Steel Connection Design I specialize in complex bolted and welded steel connections — moment connections, shear connections, base plates, and steel-to-concrete connections — designed and verified using IDEA StatiCa and RAM Connection for full seismic and wind load compliance. 📐 Structural Detailing & BIM I produce precise AutoCAD engineering drawings and Tekla Structures BIM models, bridging the gap between structural design and fabrication. Deliverables include shop drawings, connection details, and general arrangement drawings. 📊 Project & Cost Management I handle construction estimation, BOQ preparation, and material take-offs, ensuring projects are delivered within budget across full civil and structural scopes. ✅ Code Compliance All designs strictly comply with AISC 360, ASCE 7, AISI, MBMA, IBC, Eurocode 2 & 3, and ACI 318 for both steel and concrete structural elements.
