Structural & Geotechnical PE | Claude AI + SAP2000 + AutoCAD Structural Modeling, Drafting, & Automation Overview: Licensed PE (Ohio, Kentucky, California, Texas, Florida, Louisiana) | Structural & Geotechnical Engineering | Claude AI + SAP2000 + AutoCAD Automation I help clients move from concept to stamped, permitted deliverables, fast. With 15 years of experience across residential, commercial, and industrial projects in all 50 US states, Canada, Latin America, and the Caribbean, I bring deep technical skill and clear communication to every engagement. Here is what sets my work apart today: I've built custom Claude AI tooling that composes and edits SAP2000 models and AutoCAD drawings directly from a plain-language design description. Parametric studies, multi-market product calculators, and design iterations that used to take days now turn around in hours. The AI handles the tedious model assembly. A licensed PE reviews, verifies, and stamps every deliverable, so you get the speed of automation with the accountability of a real engineer behind every result. What I do best: I specialize in structural and geotechnical design spanning a wide range of materials and applications: reinforced concrete, steel, cold-formed steel, aluminum, wood, masonry, and even plastic structures, including footings, deep foundations, retaining walls, bridge abutments, buried pipes and culverts, and ground improvement systems. I've also engineered hundreds of rooftop, ground-mount, and carport solar racking projects, handling everything from ballast calculations to full structural packages. I also bring deep expertise in buried infrastructure (pipes, arches, and culverts) along with geotechnical FEA using PLAXIS, slope stability analysis, and geosynthetic design including geogrid reinforcement and stone columns. Tools & automation: Thousands of hours in CANDE, PLAXIS, SAP2000, RISA, STAAD Pro, and other FEA platforms. I'm fluent in all major US and Canadian design codes (IBC, ASCE 7, AASHTO, AISC, ACI, AISI, ADM, NBCC, CSA, NCSPA). Beyond one-off deliverables, I build automated engineering calculators and design tools that let clients and their customers repeat analyses without starting from scratch every time. My Claude AI tool for SAP2000 is the latest example, generating full models from a design description, and I have a drafting tool in development that produces dimensioned DXF details and structural sheets the same way. If your workflow has a recurring engineering bottleneck, I can probably automate it. How I work: Responsive communication, clean deliverables, and realistic timelines. I treat freelance clients the same way I treat my full-time firm's clients, because my reputation depends on both.
