I remember the first book my dad bought me. It was written in Indonesian and literally translated to “Tell Me Why”.  The book contained simple explanations to questions that children ask, such as “Why is the ocean so salty”, or “What is the difference between a fruit and a vegetable”.  Having this book read to me, ignited a sense of curiosity in me since I was little which has never died since.

Now how do I harness this curiosity?  I decided to focus my career in forensics engineering! Interweaving it with my interest in buildings and architecture, I specialise in understanding the root causes and mechanisms that lead to the failures of components and/or systems in the built environment.

Throughout my career, I have inspected over 300 distinct buildings, ranging from single-storey residential dwellings in the outback, to one of the highest residential apartment building in Australia.

The types of issues that I have diagnosed and repaired, includes the following (to name a few):

	- Interior and exterior waterproofing membranes
	- Combustible cladding
	- Building movements induced by reactive clay soils
	- Concrete reinforcement spalling 
	- Glazing elements
	- Lightweight cladding
	- Parking garages

I am not your regular engineer.  I'm a very visual person and love utilising sketches and diagrams to depict my ideas.  This includes hand-drawn details to computer models for clients and contractors alike.  I am naturally outgoing and have a high level of personal energy!  I love coordination, sharing experiences, and knowledge with others around me which makes me thrive in teams.   

When I am not crawling under buildings or hanging out the side of skyscrapers, I enjoy practicing and competing in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, cooking, and reading.

I love a good chat - so don't hesitate to reach out.

-	Consulted and developed service proposals for property owners and managers of buildings Australia-wide.  I led the investigation of Sydney’s tallest residential building, reported and presented findings to clients, budgeted repair costs for capital planning.  I designed and tested repair methods, which was then implemented across the 77-storey structure.

-	Improved the quality of deliverables by implementing standardized project and proposal templates.  Reduced report turnaround time by programming a Python script to automate the insertion and formatting of photographs in site reports.  

-	Worked collaboratively with builders and their subcontractors in the delivery of new façade system installations.  Critically review façade shop drawings in a major to identify potential concerns in glazing and cladding systems.  By using hand-drawn sketches, 2D and 3D CAD details, I presented and improved the quality of the weatherproofing details in residential, commercial, and healthcare buildings.  

-	Planned and executed data collection to predict thermal comfort of a semi-outdoor atrium.  Developed a computer model of the building using SketchUp and DesignBuilder, to simulate design parameters on the building.  Present findings within a report and visual presentation to the client.

-	Managed and mentored junior team members in understanding the fundamentals of building engineering through presentations and on-site guidance.

Remedial Facade Engineer
Imparta Engineers (formerly Mountford Prider and Associates)
Working on behalf of insurance companies, I inspected, diagnosed, and reported on the causes and extents of structural damage following storms, inundations, fires, earthquakes, and accidents.  
I utilised site evidence, first-principles, and structural modelling to back-engineer, or design new components within: low-rise residential dwellings, large industrial warehouses, in- and above-ground swimming pools, pergolas, retaining walls, amongst others.

Having identified Remotely Piloted Aircrafts (RPAs) as an emerging technology within the inspection space, I expanded the business service offering to include aerial inspections.  I developed and implemented Standard Operating Procedures and Company Policies and trained staff in the safe planning and operation of aerial inspections.  I undertook several missions, which included the inspection a large rural property damaged in landslide, and a large fire-damaged warehouse, whose access would have otherwise been difficult using traditional methods.

Diagnostic Structural Engineer
BellMont Facade Engineering
https://www.linkedin.com/company/bellmont-facade-engineering
I guided asset managers and property owners through the process of building renovation and remediation from start to finish. 

I identified and diagnosed key issues contributing to building defects in low- and high-rise construction.  Working collaboratively with material suppliers and contractors, I developed and executed the rehabilitation of structures involving: (to name a few)

	- Internal and external waterproofing
	- Concrete repairs
	- Steel coatings
	- Ancillary steel components
	- Masonry walls
	- Lightweight cladding
	- Paint coatings
	- Render
	- Windows

By applying my knowledge of the Australian National Construction Code and building contracts, I worked collaboratively within teams to identify, document, and report building issues for use in defects settlement, and litigation.
