SUMMARY
Structural Design and Construction Engineer with over 25 years of extensive demonstrated success in
planning, structural designing, shop drawing checking, estimating, construction supervision and project
management for Buildings and Bridges both in steel and in concrete. Experiences in structural design
include high-rise buildings for hotel, hospitals, office, educational institution, residential and commercial
buildings, government buildings and heavy industrial buildings for textile mills, garment industries,
ceramic factories, brick manufacturing factories, cement factories, oil and CNG gas stations etc.
Experiences in bridge design include simply supported, balanced cantilever, rigid, truss and plate girder
bridges in addition to box culvert. Foundation designs were made with open footing, raft, piles and deep
caissons. A super expert in STAAD Pro, expert in autocad and other softwares and is fully familiar with
the ACI, AISC, ASCE, ASTM, AWS, AASHTO, AREMA and International Building Code for structural
design of Buildings and Bridges. As an experienced structural engineer it was almost day to day routine
assignment to handle complex and complicated structural engineering problems. The design of heaviest
Crane Platform at WTC site for installation of blast plate and generation of moving AASHTO and HL93
load on the deck of Mahawk River Moveable Dam/Bridge including deflection of Harlem River Bridge Pier
Fender due to accidental collusion are some the examples. To design one of the heaviest curve beam for
Ramapo college and to design a underpinning beam in WTC to replace columns sometime usher in my
memories. Goal-oriented innovative Senior Structural Engineer having adequate theoretical and practical
experiences with capability to work in cross functional teams, manage multiple tasks and monitor project
timeliness.

project.Project Completed - NJTA, Design Services for Miscellaneous Structural Repairs on GSP –For
a bridge at Springfield Avenue over Garden State Parkway. Structural analysis and preparation of design
details of Union County Three Intersection Traffic Signal; Jersey City Path EC Panel, Rating of Montauk
Rail Road Bridge and 8 other bridges on Morristown Line; using COOPER 80 Loading including leading a
team of young engineers for inspection.Loading and Rating of 217 year old first in NJ, Stone Masonry
Arch Bridge on Hwy 27 at Princeton . Theoretical deflection by Staad analysis was compared with the
field observation of latest fiber optics strain gauge using AASHTO loading. Field inspections were made
frequently. Transmitted field datas could be verified sitting in the the office. Project Completed - Ocean
County College, Moon Library, Syracuse, NY, Mary Wheeler School, Newark,
Project Completed – HARLEM RIVER BRIDGE PIER FENDER, Found out deflection by structural
analysis by making a Staad Pro model after applying impact load from Drifting Hopper Barg. Project

Senior Structural Engineer, URBITRAN, New York February 2006- March 2006
Project Completed - New York City School Construction Authority; PS 230 IS 229 Structural
Stabilization, Bronx, NY - Senior Structural Engineer, responsible for making staad pro model in order to
find out excessive deflection of the building against wind load. The building was experiencing excessive
deflection due to wind load and was having cracks in the exterior walls. Staad analysis confirmed these
excessive deflections. Introduction of a number of new cross shear walls as well as strengthening of a
good number of columns helped to slove this problem and deflection was within the control limit. The
