Graduate Teaching Assistant, Texas A&M University, College Station, Texas January 2020 – May 2020

Supported undergraduate level teaching for senior year structural design class.

Assisted students inside and outside of class and improved their basic understanding of structural analysis and structural design of elements as per IBC, ACI 318 and AISC 360 and ASCE 7 code requirements. Graduate Research Assistant, Texas A&M Transport Institute, Bryan, Texas May 2019 - Present

Currently working with a team of research students on a TxDOT sponsored UHPC bridge superstructure project.

Analysing shrinkage behaviour and its effects on the design of Ultra-High-Performance Concrete (UHPC) bridge girders.

Comparing shrinkage losses for UHPC and conventional concrete based on AASTHO and FHWA design guidelines. Structural Engineer, Thakkar Associates, Ahmedabad, India June 2016 - June 2018

Provided analysis and design for four configurations of RCC framed two-story residential structures for earthquake loads; standardised structural design for all configurations and decreased overall construction cost by 8%.

Carried out analysis with multiple iterations and alternatives of foundation types for low bearing capacity soil and selected most safe and economical raft footing and eccentric combined footing for a six-story educational building.

Saved cost over an excessive amount of shuttering and cut foundation construction cost by 50%. Supervised the drafting team’s work of structural drawings and ensured that all structural elements are featured sufficiently.

Performed structural design calculation for load-bearing masonry jail buildings with national standards for earthquake resistant structures. Produced structural drawings using AutoCAD while coordinating with supervisor and client.

Designed steel-framed inclined roof system for stone masonry cottages of a 7-acre resort project in a high wind speed zone of the coastal part of Gujarat state. Coordinated with architect and client to come up with aesthetic roofing.

Drafted underground liquid storage tank layouts to maximize storage capacity according to site conditions and groundwater table depth, proposed designs of the tanks for liquid storage and to support heavy vehicle traffic.

Led a team of interns and directed to developed specific bills of quantities (BOQ) for precise material requirements, construction documents, specifications and tender documents for and reduced contingency costs by 75%. Structural Designer, HITE Engineering Corporation, Ontario, Canada May 2018

Analysed and reviewed more than 50 configurations of window mullion for lateral wind load-carrying capacity.

Delivered a report on the variation of available strength with respect to the dimension of windows and cross-section of mullion in the form of tables for each configuration. Intern, Sai Consultants, Surat, India (B. Tech Senior Year Project) February 2016 - April 2016

Provided structural analysis for a four-story residential bungalow for earthquake loads for the torsional effects of dynamic loads due to non-symmetrical load and mass distribution.

Reviewed/checked final structural drawings composed by draftsmen for corrections and conformity to designs.

Oversaw on-site reinforcement placement and concrete pour inspections by reviewing design drawings. Put together reviews and reports for approval of the principal structural engineer. LEADERSHIP
