Work Experience

Junior Structural Engineer at Rasmi and Kiwan (RAKO) Engineering Consultants
December 1, 2025 - Present
Designed structural systems for 6 reinforced concrete buildings from concept through final drawings in compliance with ACI 318 and ASCE 7. Performed seismic and lateral load analysis and lateral load distribution in ETABS and SAFE for complex building frameworks to support local regulatory approval. Contributed to structural analysis and risk assessment reports for client review, evaluating design integrity. Built custom scripts to auto-generate beam and column sections, reducing manual CAD/Revit detailing time by 30%+. Developed auto-dimensioning routines and BOQ macros to eliminate manual calculation discrepancies and speed up material estimation. Created open-source Dynamo scripts for dynamic beam tagging and geometric synchronization to improve team production efficiency. Coordinated with architects and project managers, and supported site inspections and concrete detailing reviews.
