Ricky Chien is a structural engineer with 11 years of experience, holding a BS from The University of Texas at San Antonio and currently pursuing an MS in Civil Engineering (Structures) at the University of Houston. He has advanced from intern to Project Engineer and now Structural Engineer at Ensight Haynes Whaley, leading designs, serving as client contact, mentoring junior staff, and providing construction support such as RFIs and submittal reviews. His practice spans traditional buildings, telecommunications, bridges, offshore, foundations, seismic and forensic engineering, and is informed by hands-on research in fluid dynamics using a lock-exchange tank and structural lab work. Unusually for a practicing engineer, he also contributes to build automation and CI work in open-source projects (notably fixes to Mozilla’s Gaia build system), bringing scripting and tooling skills that help streamline design workflows in a Greater Houston practice.
