About Ivan

I’m a civil engineer who works where design meets the job site: turning structural intent into drawings that can be built, and keeping the information on site accurate and moving.

I trained in civil engineering at Marwadi University in India and completed an M.S. in Construction Engineering and Management at Catholic University of America in Washington, DC in 2026. Between the two, I worked as a junior and then assistant civil engineer on sites in Kampala and Entebbe, Uganda, and as a precast detailer with MGL Group in Rajkot, India.

That mix shapes how I work. Detailing taught me how a drawing becomes a precast element in a factory; site work taught me what happens when that element arrives. I use Revit, AutoCAD and ETABS on the design side and Procore for RFIs, submittals and field reports on the construction side.

Outside engineering I lead the Omagor Men’s Foundation in Uganda as Executive Director and founded EduTours and Career Consultancy, which is where I learned to run teams and budgets across three countries and time zones.

I’m based in Los Angeles, hold OSHA 30, sit the FE Civil exam in November 2026, and am looking for field engineer, project engineer and structural roles in Southern California.

How I work

Principles, each tied to where I practised it.

Precision

Precast shop drawings leave no room for guesswork: a wrong dimension becomes a wrong element.

Safety

OSHA 30 trained, with site experience in quality control and safe execution.

Collaboration

Coordinated staff, employees and subcontractors across the US, India and Uganda.

Continuous learning

From a B.Tech to an M.S., and now preparing for the FE Civil exam.
