Hi, my name is
Andres Felipe Muñoz
Structural Engineer
I calculate and design different types of structures
...and also indulge in coding and visual design.
I turn complex engineering problems into solutions that actually work—and I do it without putting anyone to sleep in the process.
I'm a structural engineer who's spent over 10 years figuring out how to keep buildings upright, bridges from falling down, and projects from falling apart. Born in Colombia 🇨🇴, now based in Australia 🇦🇺, with a Master's degree and Engineers Australia recognition that proves I know the difference between a beam and a column (among other useful things).
Here's the thing: engineering doesn't have to be intimidating or boring, it can bring endless fascination. Whether I'm designing a school that can survive an earthquake, reviewing a transmission tower that needs to stand up to wind, or explaining why that crack in your wall might actually be fine, I believe in making the complex stuff make sense. I speak fluent load paths and deadlines, but I can also translate that into regular human language, most of the time at least.
When I'm not calculating concrete strengths or modeling structures in 3D, you'll find me tinkering with code, sketching out ideas, or creating systems that make chaotic projects run smoothly. I'm the engineer who actually enjoys the messy challenges, as long as we can clean them up properly afterward.
My career started at ESDILAB S.A.S, where I spent my days making sure concrete structures and steel trusses wouldn't surprise anyone by collapsing. From there, I became a graduate assistant at the Colombian School of Engineering, where I got to torture-test materials in the lab and occasionally torture students with my "Introduction to Civil Engineering" course (they mostly survived).
I've audited high-voltage transmission lines with Ingedisa S.A, basically making sure those massive steel towers and lines can handle whatever Mother Nature throws at them. As a freelance engineer, I've designed everything from earthquake-resistant schools to public sports courts, working with local governments on projects that actually improve people's daily lives.
Since 2020, I've been running my own practice, taking on structural design and verification projects across the board. Whether it's a complex high-rise or a simple residential build, the goal stays the same: make it safe, make it work, and make sure everyone understands why it works that way.
Here are the tools I use to turn ideas into calculations and calculations into actual buildings. It's not every program I've ever touched, just the ones that earn their keep on my projects. I pick up new software when the job calls for it, because good engineers adapt to the problem, not the other way around.
When I'm not calculating a structure, I'm usually building something else entirely. I dabble in programming, photography, rendering, and drawing, basically anything that involves creating something.
I've actually shipped a project called Pose Player, a free tool for gesture drawing practice. Currently working on another tool for viewing and editing BVBS files in construction, because someone has to make working with those things less painful to deal with.
