family/duplex residential dwellings throughout Lower Mainland BC. Specific skills include:
 Design experience using timber, structural steel and concrete building materials.
 Proficiency in structural drafting using AutoCAD, with a certification from CADD Center in India.
 Working knowledge of building design codes like BC Building Code 2012, Vancouver Building Bylaw 2014,
National Building Code of Canada 2010, CSA-A23.3-04, CSA-S16-09 and CSA-O86-09.
 Preparing contract documents, technical reports and legal documents for submission to the City Hall
officials.
 Field-visits and site inspections for construction quality assurance with meticulous attention to technical
details.
 Strong communication skills with exposure to multi-cultural clients/contractors with varied technical
knowledge.
 Valid Class 5 B.C driver’s license with a clean record.
In addition to this, I also have 3 years of research experience in implementation of performance-based energy design
in seismically resilient steel frame systems. Skills acquired include:
 Knowledge of nonlinear finite element modeling, analysis and design using structural engineering software
like SAP2000, ETABS, STAAD.Pro and OpenSees Navigator.
 Proven ability of both leading teams in group projects as well as working individually with minimal
supervision.
