About

I have 13 years of experience in steel detail engineering using Tekla Structures. Over the past 13 years, I have worked on various industrial and construction projects in Iran and Canada.
I am proficient in Tekla Structures and familiar with software such as AutoCAD, Revit, PDMS, NavisWorks, CATIA, and Microsoft Office.

I excel in reading and analyzing structural, architectural, and mechanical drawings. I use these skills to identify and address any discrepancies or issues through RFIs or TQs and promptly notify the employer.

I am familiar with the Canadian CISC Handbook, Chapters 10 and 11 of Iran's National Building Regulations, and Canadian Connection Design Standards (CSA S16).

I have a thorough understanding of management, technical, and software aspects of project implementation based on BIM systems.

As a technical engineer, I have always strived to upgrade and update my knowledge in my field. I constantly review projects from the builder's and installer's point of view, with the aim of identifying potential operational and technical challenges and providing the most efficient and simple solutions for construction and installation.

Finally, I must say that I am very passionate about my work. Starting a new project is always exciting for me, and I eagerly welcome projects that challenge me.
