Skills
Microsof Office
Excel – Word – Teams – Outlook – Powerpoint
I am proficient in using the entire Office suite for various purposes. The most useful tools are Word, which I use to create various reports, and Excel, which I primarily use for creating spreadsheets, synthesizing information, and more.
Drafter
Autocad – Revit
These two tools are essential for the design of any type of construction project. AutoCAD is a simple tool that allows for the creation of high-quality plans. Revit, on the other hand, is a comprehensive software used for modeling projects with BIM methodology, which is the future of the construction industry.
Structural Design
Sap2000 – RamElements – Etabs – Robot
For structural calculations, I have experience with these tools, which allow me to model reinforced concrete (RC) and steel structures. Additionally, I can design and verify seismic-resistant structures. I typically use these tools for modeling, manually design each structural element using spreadsheets, and then proceed to create the plans.
