Proven Experience & Past Performance

With over 12 years of hands-on experience, my background in CADD, VDC, and BIM is extensive, covering a wide range of complex projects across multiple design platforms. My experience spans the federal government, high-tech manufacturing, and commercial sectors, where I have a proven track record of delivering high-quality construction documents. I excel in leveraging cutting-edge technology like BIM, VDC, and VR scanning to ensure precision and efficiency from concept to completion.

    • As the lead designer for my own firm, I have submitted proposals for 3D VR projects directly to U.S. Government agencies.

    • My primary work involves engineering highly accurate Revit models from Faro Point Cloud data to create as-built documentation and deliverables.

    • I direct all Virtual Design and Construction (VDC) initiatives to manage and integrate multi-disciplinary models for federal projects.

    • Served as the Lead BIM Revit MEP Designer, converting Faro Point Cloud data into precise REVIT models for existing conditions on DRAM and construction projects.

    • Created digital models of buildings and project sites to visualize and plan designs, processes, schedules, and budgets.

    • Presented and developed ideas for more efficient design using Revit Dynamo scripting.

    • Engineered comprehensive fire sprinkler and protection systems using SprinkCAD in AutoCAD.

    • Managed the entire design lifecycle from initial concept to the final product, which was submitted to the State Fire Marshal for approval.

    • Ran all hydraulic calculations for sprinkler designs and ensured compliance with NFPA13 codes.

    • Designed and calculated earthquake bracing and loads for life safety systems.

    • Managed all Building Information Modeling (BIM) software and design templates to keep the firm on the cutting edge of computer-aided design.

    • Spearheaded the design of Mechanical and Plumbing systems from initial concept to final, construction-ready layouts

    • Performed site verification visits to ensure design quality and coordinated with other disciplines to guarantee drawing accuracy.

  • Role: Designer, HECO Engineers

    • Designed civil systems, including sewage lift stations and water booster stations.

    • Designed marina systems, including docks, gangways, and breakwaters.

    • Analyzed surveys, field notes, and maps to identify project constraints and determine the best approach for development.

    • Architected multi-level building structures from foundation to roof for large-scale commercial and residential projects.

    • Authored detailed structural specifications and connection details using AutoCAD and Revit.

    • Led the quality control review of all shop drawings and mentored junior drafters to improve team proficiency.

    • Created detailed 3D architectural models for the innovative Buffalo Wild Wings Go fast-casual concept, designed for non-traditional locations like college campuses.

    • Developed architectural and construction documents for other major national brands, including Panera Bread and Sodexo Headquarters (Bethesda, MD).

    • Produced designs for prominent local institutions like St. Luke's Boise Medical Center.

    • Specialized in identifying and resolving design conflicts early in the process through clash detection and BIM coordination.
