Over five years of experience of Structural Design Engineering and Quality Assurance of industry leading structural engineering analysis applications has equipped me with the skill set and competencies required in the field of structural design engineering. The competencies I have can be summarized as below:
- Excellent professional track
record in the field of Structural Engineering and Structural
Software Quality Assurance
- Expert user of
Structural Engineering applications Bentley STAAD, SAP, SAFE, ETABS,
MIDAS/Civil, Bentley Structural and Oasys GSA
- In-depth knowledge of
Autodesk AutoCAD and Bentley Systems MicroStation
- Well versed with international design codes like ACI, BS and EuroCodes
- Quick learner, strong
analytical and problem solving ability
- Exceptional communication and interpersonal skills
In-depth knowledge and experience of working and performing quality assurance of industry leading structural analysis and design applications is one of my unique strengths. Owing to my professional experience and my personal interest in these software applications, I am adept at using quite a large number of analysis and design applications listed below:
| Application | Level | Years of Experience |
| SAP2000 | Expert | 6 Years |
| STAAD | Intermediate | 2 Years |
| ETABS | Intermediate | 2 Years |
| Oasys GSA | Intermediate | 1 Year |
| SAFE | Expert | 2 Years |
| Midas/CIVIL | Intermediate | 1 Year |
| Bentley Structural | Expert | 1 Year |
| AutoPLANT Structural | Expert | 2 Years |
| DRAIN 2D | Intermediate | 1 Month |
Apart from the mainstream engineering analysis and design applications, I have good command over supplementary engineering software applications. These including drafting, 3D modelling, project planning and project review software applications. Some of these supplementary engineering applications which I used during my professional career are as below:
| Application | Level | Years of Experience |
| AutoCAD | Expert | 7 Years |
| MicroStation | Intermediate | 2 Years |
| Steel Pac | Beginner | 2 Months |

My interest in programming started at university with Computer Sciences module. The programming language that we were taught in that module was PASCAL. I scored 93% marks in that module. I developed a number of small computer applications including a couple of games due to my own interest. I also developed a number of small computer applications for design of beams, columns and slabs. I remained involved with writing VBA codes and AutoIT code for different automation tasks as a member of Automation Team at my office.
During my MSc at University of Sheffield, Computational Structural Analysis became my favourite module due to my interest in programming and passion for structural analysis. Owing to my interest I choose my dissertation topic related to Finite Element Analysis. The project required quite a bit of programming using MatLAB. I really enjoyed working on my dissertation which involved developing a Finite Element Analysis application using MatLAB which was able to perform dynamic analysis and simulating material failure. I scored 77% marks for my dissertation.
The programming languages which I used during these years are listed below:
- MatLAB (Expert)
- Visual Basic (Beginner)
- C / C++ (Beginner)
- Pascal (Beginner)
- Proficient at using Microsoft Office (Word, Outlook, InfoPath, Access, Excel, Expression Web, MS Project)
- Adept in common OS versions (MS windows and Apple Mac), hardware, software and networking concepts/functionality
- Amateur webpage designing and website development
- Pakistan Engineering Council
- American Concrete Institute
- English (Fluent)
- Urdu (Fluent)
- Pashto (Fluent)
- Punjabi (Fluent)
