Speaking & recognition
I talk about two things: Canadian structural codes, and building software with the habits of a structural engineer.
Talks and presentations
ETABuddy and spec-driven agentic development
Presented the tool and the method behind it to my firm's agentic coding working group. Background reading: Spec-Driven Agentic Engineering for Engineers and ETABuddy.
NBCC 2025 vs 2020: what changed
Walked the structural engineers at my firm through the shifts between the two code editions and what they mean for day-to-day design.
Recognition
The InnovAEtion climb
InnovAEtion is Associated Engineering's company-wide innovation award. I entered three years running and kept climbing:
- 2024 2nd place
- 2025 2nd place
- 2026 1st place
The 2026 entry was a spellchecker for engineering drawings. The climb is the part I'm proud of, because each year I came back with the next thing.
Book me to speak
I'm happy to present to teams, working groups, or events on agentic engineering, structural automation, or Canadian code changes. Email [email protected].
