JAKE AT WORK
Jake has always enjoyed understanding the engineering behind how buildings work and are built. Developing a deeper understanding of structural engineering was the perfect fit for him and he has found it satisfying to see his projects go from concept to completion. Jake enjoys working at PARADIGM because it provides an environment where he can work on a variety of markets and project types, while creating an opportunity for continuous professional development through in-house seminars.
Jake specializes in seismic retrofit of existing structures and the design of data centers, life science facilities, laboratories, and clean rooms.
