About Me
I am advancing toward Registered Professional Engineer of Victoria (RPEV) and Professional Engineer (PE) endorsement, building on my recent NER registration with Engineers Australia. This reflects my commitment to professional standards and readiness to practice independently in structural and civil engineering.
With over 18 years of combined local and international experience, I deliver structural and civil solutions across residential, commercial, educational, and industrial projects. My expertise covers reinforced and prestressed concrete, steel, timber, masonry, and composite systems, with a strong record of delivering efficient, code-compliant designs under both Australian Standards and international codes. In civil works, I prepare stormwater and drainage packages including OSD, WSUD, and LPOD systems that balance constructability, sustainability, and authority approval.
I am recognised for my leadership in Building Information Modelling (BIM) and digital delivery, where I bridge engineering design with integrated digital workflows. I have authored BIM Execution Plans (BEPs) aligned with ISO 19650, established and managed Common Data Environments (CDEs), and produced fully coordinated LOD 300–400 Revit documentation. My BIM expertise extends beyond modelling into 4D construction sequencing and 5D cost integration, enabling project teams to assess constructability, programme, and budget implications in real time. I have applied Navisworks, Synchro Pro, and Revizto for model federation, clash detection, and project staging, while driving data-rich model management for digital twins and lifecycle integration.
I leverage Dynamo, Python, and custom automation scripts to streamline repetitive tasks, enforce quality-assurance workflows, and reduce documentation errors. I also integrate Revit -with structural analysis platforms (ETABS, SAP2000, SAFE, SpaceGASS, RAPT, Tekla Structures)API (Application Programming Interface) to ensure models are both constructible and analytically robust. Beyond technical delivery, I actively mentor drafting teams, enforce company-wide BIM standards, and champion digital transformation to ensure all deliverables are accurate, coordinated, and compliant.
By combining a structural/Civil foundation with advanced BIM and automation expertise, I provide solutions that are technically sound, constructible, and optimised for cost, programme, and lifecycle performance. I am also progressing toward Chartered Professional Engineer (CPEng) status, further consolidating my ability to deliver safe and sustainable engineering outcomes at the highest professional level.

Civil Drainage & Site Engineering
Comprehensive knowledge of OSD and LPOD design, water‑sensitive urban design (WSUD), site grading, stormwater retention/detention systems and crossover applications. Skilled in delivering permit‑ready documentation and coordinating civil layouts with architectural and landscape requirements.
BIM & Digital Delivery
I lead BIM-enabled structural engineering projects with a strong focus on digital integration and multidisciplinary coordination. My expertise lies in Revit-based structural modelling, where I establish ISO 19650-aligned workflows and manage Common Data Environments (CDEs) such as BIM 360/ACC to ensure controlled, transparent collaboration across architecture, structural, and MEP teams.
I specialise in producing LOD 300–400 documentation, exporting IFC models for consultant and contractor integration, and authoring BIM Execution Plans (BEPs) that align design teams under clear responsibilities and deliverables. My role consistently includes clash detection and resolution using Navisworks and Revizto, enabling constructible outcomes before site mobilisation.
I develop advanced Dynamo and Python scripts to automate structural documentation, parameter checks, and design-to-analysis data transfer. My workflows integrate Revit models with analytical platforms such as SAP2000, ETABS, and MATLAB, enabling seamless BIM–FEA interaction for frame, slab, and seismic performance optimisation. This includes automated extraction of geometry, load cases, and section properties directly from BIM environments to reduce modelling redundancy and ensure analytical accuracy.
Beyond building structures, I extend automation to civil and stormwater systems by linking Excel- and Dynamo-driven routines for OSD, LPOD, and WSUD computations. These are embedded back into coordinated BIM models, ensuring regulatory compliance and integrated delivery of both structural and civil design packages. By merging parametric modelling with performance-based analysis, I achieve higher efficiency, reduce coordination errors, and enhance code-compliant engineering outputs at LOD 300–500.
Throughout my career, I have delivered BIM leadership across diverse projects:
- Residential & Multi-Unit Housing: boutique townhouses, mid-rise apartments, and high-end custom homes, where Revit integration ensured compliance and design efficiency.
- Commercial & Retail: carwash facilities, petrol stations, and office refurbishments requiring multidisciplinary coordination and clash management.
- Educational & Public: schools and childcare centres, where ISO 19650 workflows and compliant documentation were critical for government approvals.
- Industrial & Infrastructure: warehouses, LNG foundations, LPG tank bases, and portal-frame facilities, where BIM–analysis integration improved constructability and code compliance.
By bridging engineering design with digital delivery, I consistently deliver coordinated, cost-effective, and code-compliant solutions, while mentoring drafting teams, enforcing BIM standards, and supporting clients with transparent digital handover models.
Software Proficiency
My technical expertise spans the full digital engineering lifecycle, from structural design and analysis to BIM coordination, geotechnical simulation, and workflow automation.
In structural and civil engineering analysis, I am highly experienced with SpaceGASS, Structural Toolkit, Tekla Tedds, ETABS, SAP2000, SAFE, RAPT, ADAPT Builder, ABAQUS, OpenSeesPy, and OSD4W. These tools allow me to deliver robust designs across reinforced concrete, steel, timber, masonry, and composite systems, while ensuring code compliance and constructability.
In geotechnical and advanced simulation, I have applied PLAXIS 2D/3D and GeoStudio modules (Slope/W/W, Seep/W, Sigma/W/W) for soil–structure interaction, settlement prediction, and excavation support, complemented by nonlinear finite element modelling in ABAQUS for complex scenarios.
My BIM and digital engineering expertise includes advanced use of Revit Structure with Dynamo scripting, AutoCAD, Tekla Structures, Navisworks Manage, Revizto, Synchro Pro for 4D sequencing, and Solibri Model Checker.

I author and implement BIM Execution Plans (BEPs), manage CDEs, and enforce LOD and IFC standards to ensure consistent model exchange. This dual competency—linking engineering codes with BIM frameworks—delivers projects that are structurally sound, digitally robust, and construction-ready.
I employ a range of computational tools to enhance engineering and BIM workflows. Dynamo and Python streamline Revit modelling and reduce manual drafting. MATLAB enables optimisation and advanced numerical studies, while Mathcad provides transparent, code-based calculation sheets for design verification. Excel automation supports QA checks, reporting, and data exchange. Together, these tools bridge computation with digital delivery, improving efficiency, accuracy, and collaboration.
Codes & Standards: I work with a deep understanding of both Australian and international codes, ensuring every design is safe, efficient, and fully compliant. In structural engineering, I apply AS 3600 for concrete, AS 4100 for steel, AS 3700 for masonry, and AS 1684 for timber framing, alongside the AS/NZS 1170 loading series and AS 2870 for foundation and slab design. For civil works, I integrate the National Construction Code (NCC Volumes 1 & 2) and local authority standards into drainage, stormwater management (OSD, LPOD, WSUD), and site infrastructure solutions. Internationally, I draw on ACI 318 for concrete, ASCE 7 for loading, ASCE 41 for seismic evaluation and retrofit, and AISC 360 for steel structures, with additional expertise in performance-based seismic design guided by PEER/TBI frameworks.
