I have 4 years’ experience in the Civil and Structural Industry. My expertise is in the structural sector motivated by my fascination with Architecture and high rise buildings. I have been privileged to be a part of numerous investigations into structural failures and serviceability failures which has given invaluable insight on how buildings perform overtime as well as determining the modes of failure with regards to design, detailing and construction. I am currently employed at Gavin Brown and Associates. I am privileged to work for a small firm that tackles challenging jobs both in the private and public sector. Gavin Brown is a Professional Civil and Structural Engineer as well as a Professional Architect. By practicing in both Architecture and Structural Engineering, which is an added advantage when working with other Architects, I have a firm understanding of both form and function as well as the application of the National Building Regulations. My ambition is to become a High Rise Specialist and Bridge Engineer.
