Engineered Architecture Shaped By Structure, Code, and Performance.

Architectural Engineering @ UWaterloo | May 2028 Grad

I’m an Architectural Engineering student at the University of Waterloo with a strong interest in building science, structural systems, and climate-responsive design. My work explores how architecture performs beyond aesthetics, integrating environmental strategy, technical detailing, and human experience into each project.

Through academic studios, independent design explorations, and professional co-op experience, I’ve developed a practical understanding of how concepts translate into real buildings. I’m especially interested in projects that balance modern architectural language with performance driven thinking, where structure, envelope design, and sustainability work together as a unified system.

This portfolio showcases a selection of work ranging from conceptual academic projects to technically focused design studies that reflect my ongoing growth as a designer and engineer.

What is Architectural Engineering?

Architectural Engineering bridges architecture and engineering, combining structural systems, building science, and environmental performance within an integrated design approach. At the University of Waterloo, the program is delivered through Civil & Environmental Engineering in collaboration with the School of Architecture, providing the same analytical depth as traditional Civil Engineering while focusing specifically on building performance and lifecycle thinking.

While I’ve always been drawn to architectural design, I found myself more interested in how buildings actually work, how structure, climate response, and technical systems shape the built environment. Architectural Engineering allows me to pursue that balance, where engineering principles guide design decisions and performance becomes a core part of the architectural language.

Work Experience Summary

Residential Design + Build

Experience supporting residential renovations and secondary suite developments, combining interior construction detailing with building code awareness. Work included basement legal suite permit coordination and translating drawings into buildable solutions that balance modern design intent with regulatory requirements.

Fire & Code Consulting

Performance-driven consulting focused on life-safety systems and building code strategy across multiple project types. Work involved applying engineering judgment to develop alternate solutions that maintain compliance while supporting architectural design intent and overall project objectives.

Large-Scale Infrastructre

Field experience with one of North America’s largest general contractors on bridge and roadway construction along the Deerfoot Trail corridor. Responsibilities included supporting concrete operations, structural assembly, and site coordination to improve traffic flow on Alberta’s busiest highway.

Design Intent

My design approach treats architecture as an integrated engineered system where structure, building performance, and code constraints actively inform form rather than follow it. I’m interested in how structural logic, envelope strategy, and environmental response can shape spatial clarity and material expression from the earliest stages of design, creating work that balances technical rigor with modern architectural language. By grounding each project in constructability, performance, and real-world context, I aim to develop solutions that are both analytically driven and visually refined, where engineering principles strengthen design intent and architecture performs as cohesively as it looks.
