About

After working in Milan on a wide range of projects from large commercial buildings to small residences in the last 3 years, I am now in Stuttgart, expanding my goals and experiences to add a new culture, language and vision. Some of my most notable achievements include: • Designing a residential building based on innovative material use and sustainable design practices, based in Italy, Kuwait, Kosovo, Barcelona and Azerbaijan. • Working with a team of engineers on complex Stadium, Villa and Shopping Center projects that require careful coordination with local authorities and stakeholders. • Development of a new software tool for structural analysis that was adopted by many senior engineers. As a structural engineer, I have a deep understanding of all aspects of the design process, from initial conceptualization to final construction. My areas of expertise include: • Design: I understand the importance of theoretical and practical knowledge regarding the calculation of structural problems in engineering decisions to make safe structures. • Communication: I have the ability to work with clients, contractors, and other stakeholders to ensure everyone is on the same page and projects go smoothly. • Materials: I have extensive knowledge of the latest materials and techniques and am always looking for ways to innovate and improve. • Environment: I am committed to designing sustainable and environmentally friendly buildings. In addition to my technical skills, I also have skills in project management, experience in managing teams and ensuring projects are delivered on time and within budget. Whether you need a structural engineer for a large commercial project or a small residential renovation, I have the necessary skills and experience.
