Hi there, I'm Arun Kishore, P.Eng.

I'm a licensed structural engineer (P.Eng.) with a passion for software development. I build automation tools (Python, VBA, JavaScript) to streamline complex engineering workflows, develop web-based calculators, and explore new tech.

What I'm Working On

I'm always tinkering with code to solve structural engineering problems. Here are some of my key projects:

I'm constantly seeking innovative ways to enhance the field of structural engineering through automation and optimization.

Most Used Languages

Some of my recent projects include:

  • ak_sap: An open-source Python wrapper for the SAP2000 API to enable scriptable FEM workflows.
  • AutoFEM Suite: A Python tool to parse PDF load schedules into FEM models, saving 200+ hours per project.
  • Web Calculators: Developing https://struct.work using JavaScript to provide easy-to-use engineering tools.
  • VBA Automation: Tools to automate concrete design and scheduling, saving an estimated $1.15M/year in production time.
  • Userscripts: Writing JavaScript userscripts to enhance existing web calculators.

What I'm Learning

Continuous learning is essential. I'm currently diving into:

  • Machine learning algorithms for predicting structural behavior.
  • Using LLMs for engineering risk analysis and prediction.
  • Advanced data visualization techniques.
  • Cloud computing applications for large-scale structural analysis.

Featured Repositories

Feel free to explore the repositories for more details, code snippets, and documentation.

My Tech Stack

  • Software & Automation: Python, JavaScript, VBA, Shell Scripting, Google Apps Script.
  • Engineering Software: SAP2000, ETABS, SAFE, RAM, RFEM, Revit (Dynamo), RISA-3D.
  • Engineering Expertise: Seismic Design, FEM, Reinforced Concrete & Steel (CSA/ACI/AISC), Project Management.

Let's Connect!

I'm open to collaboration and new ideas.
