I'm a FISE-certified structural engineer with over 11 years of experience designing bridges, retaining walls, steel-frame buildings, and reinforced concrete foundations. Most recently I worked as Project Manager for Bridges and Special Construction at the City of Helsinki. Precision in structural calculations is what keeps buildings standing, and that same precision goes into every calculator I build.
I earned my Master of Science from Aalto University in Helsinki, where my research explored how APIs and digital tools can advance structural engineering workflows. I also co-authored a paper presented at ICED 17 on resource-effective structural solutions. That academic foundation, combined with years of practical engineering, shapes how I approach material estimation for DIY projects.
The calculators I've developed for DIYdigits use the same methods I apply to professional projects. Whether you're pouring a concrete slab, building a retaining wall, or planning a deck, these tools help you get the quantities right before you start buying materials.
