# Fred T. > Innovator for the Construction and Design Industry using Computational Technology Location: Vallejo, California, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/fredt I am an engineer with over fifteen years of computational and structural design experience in America, Europe, and Asia. I am fluent in English and Mandarin. I seek connections and opportunities in the fields of construction technology, computation, and data analytics. "Engineering creativity requires courage to try new things, discipline to stay within the boundaries of rational forms that lead to efficiency and economy, and creativity also requires play to search for a proper form that is not only technically correct but also elegant." - Maria Eugenia Moreyra Garlock, Professor of Civil Engineering, Princeton University. ## Work Experience ### BIM Engineer @ Herrero Builders Jan 2026 – Present | San Francisco Bay Area I implement VDC processes at Herrero Builders, significantly enhancing project support and collaboration. • Develop and maintain BIM execution plans to streamline project workflows and coordination. • Document project coordination issues, ensuring quality assurance of BIM models throughout the process. • Prepare and update BIM schedules, integrating model data for improved project management. ### Construction Designer and Engineer @ prefabADU / Valley Home Development Corp.
