Simulation tooling, integration, and automation for reliable engineering workflows.
My work in engineering software focuses on extending and integrating advanced simulation tools so they can be used reliably for complex engineering problems. This includes numerical method development, multiphysics coupling, and workflow automation across both commercial and open-source platforms. The emphasis is on correctness, transparency, and repeatability rather than black-box automation.
Independent development work for design software companies, contributing to internal engineering algorithms and extensions within commercial simulation platforms. This work requires close coordination with existing codebases, numerical assumptions, and validation practices.
Development of engineering automation using software APIs, including SAP2000, Abaqus, LS-DYNA (via Primer), and COMSOL Multiphysics (MATLAB and Java interfaces). Applications include design automation, parametric studies, model generation, and repeatable post-processing.
Custom tools for model setup, data conditioning, and results extraction in large and complex simulations, where manual interaction is impractical or error-prone.
Development of multiphysics software interfaces for reactive-transport modeling, including coupling transport solvers with thermodynamic equilibrium calculations. This includes work on COMSOL-based transport models integrated with geochemical solvers to represent cementitious systems with complex chemistry.
Contributions to open-source engineering software, including development of force-based finite elements and nonlinear formulations implemented in OpenSees. This work is documented in peer-reviewed publications and focuses on numerical robustness and physical consistency.
A validation-first approach to software development, emphasizing benchmark problems, sensitivity checks, and traceable assumptions so that numerical results can be trusted and audited.
