In this episode of Stirring the Pot we’re having a kōrero with Maryam Hasanali.

Maryam is a structural research engineer at HERA and the brain behind the scenes driving our newly launched software tool, CompWebPen.

Join us as we dive into the thinking, coding, and collaboration that brought CompWebPen to life – a tool designed to simplify the analysis and design of composite steel–concrete beams with web penetrations. Maryam shares the real-world pain points this software solves for engineers, how it integrates with existing tools, and why it’s a game-changer for accuracy, efficiency, and compliance.

Whether you’re an engineer, designer, or just curious about the brains behind digital tools in construction – this kōrero offers valuable insights into building smarter with confidence.
