What I'm looking for

I seek a federal construction role where I can lead cost estimation, project controls, and subcontractor coordination within a compliant, growth-oriented team.

I am an Assistant Project Manager and Project Controls Engineer specializing in federal construction projects, cost estimation, subcontractor management, and FAR compliance. I bring hands-on experience stabilizing high-pressure pursuits and deliveries, having contributed to securing a $5.5M USARC award and providing interim project management to drive schedule, planning, and subcontractor coordination.

My background includes proposal development, capture strategy, and continuous cost tracking across DoD, USACE, DoS, and EPA projects, plus automation and controls experience from prior roles. I am recognized as a reliable problem-solver who creates practical cost-modeling tools, supports bonding and pricing strategies, and salvages troubled projects to protect company financials.
