Electrical Engineer & Construction Project Manager bridging traditional engineering with modern technology.
Bridging Construction & Technology.
The construction industry is changing. I'm an electrical engineer and project manager who works at the edge of that change — bringing automation, AI, and modern software into an industry built on handshakes and hard hats.
My foundation is traditional: P.Eng. and P.E. licenses, PMP certification, and years of hands-on experience engineering, estimating, and managing commercial projects (retail, offices, and malls), institutional builds (schools, hospitals, and government buildings), and industrial facilities (plants, factories, and oil & gas).
But I also build tools. Engineering calculators, project dashboards, and automation systems designed to make construction professionals faster and more accurate. The free tools on this site are just the beginning.
Where I've made an impact.
