About

I'm a computational engineer with a deep passion for merging structural engineering and artificial intelligence to build tools that make engineering smarter, faster, and more intuitive. I hold a Masters in Structural Engineering from Stanford University and a Masters in Computer Science with a focus on Machine Learning from Georgia Tech. My academic path reflects my curiosity across disciplines, from physical structures to intelligent systems. I enjoy creating intelligent pipelines, data-driven visualizations, and AI-enabled applications that push the boundaries of how engineering is practiced. I'm especially excited by the potential of ML, automation, and natural language processing (NLP) to reshape traditional workflows. Above all, I’m passionate about learning, building, and solving complex problems at the intersection of engineering and technology.

Experience

Nabih youssef & associates

Senior Computational Engineer

Jun 2023 – Present · 2 yrs 9 mos · Los Angeles, California, United States · Hybrid

Implemented a Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) system by integrating vector embeddings in Pinecone and OpenAI APIs, allowing engineers to query company-specific structural engineering data and receive context-aware, AI-generated responses.
Developed interactive web-based data visualization dashboards using Python, enabling real-time monitoring of key structural metrics and accelerating data-driven design decisions.
Automated key operational workflows with Python scripts and libraries, resulting in reduced manual effort and errors in data handling and allowing engineers to focus on complex analysis and design tasks.
COMPLETED PROJECTS:
The Vault, Trojena, NEOM (Saudi Arabia): A futuristic gateway to Trojena, The Vault is a vertical village integrating hospitality, retail, and entertainment, featuring immersive digital experiences that blend reality and fantasy.
Discovery Tower, Trojena, NEOM (Saudi Arabia): Designed by Zaha Hadid Architects, this 330-meter crystalline skyscraper atop a mountain will house retail, dining, exhibitions, and observation decks, serving as a landmark within the Trojena region.
Potrero Yard Modernization, San Francisco, CA: A transformative project replacing a century-old bus yard with a modern, four-story facility for electric buses, incorporating up to 513 units of affordable housing and retail spaces to promote sustainability and community integration.

Summer Intern

May 2015 – Jul 2015 · 2 mos · CC05 line, Delhi Metro Rail Coorporation

During the intern, I had a first hand experience of studying and learning about Top-Down and Bottom-Up construction methodologies and their implementation in DMRC metro stations at Jama Masjid (Delhi, India) and Delhi Gate (Delhi, India). I also learnt about construction methods for Pre-Cast Tunnel Segments at casting yard and quality measures adopted for the same. I also got associated with planning and design department; their daily activities and responsibilities. Later, I also supervised steel laying operations in a subway being constructed at Delhi Gate Metro Station (Delhi, India)
