At Amtrak, I lead nationwide rail-facility capital initiatives valued from $1M to $15M, coordinating planning, design, procurement, construction, risk oversight, and closeout to strengthen operational resilience.

I've directed multimillion-dollar institutional, housing, transportation, retail, and commercial developments across the U.S. and international markets, including Loudoun View Senior Living, the National Law Enforcement Museum and Memorial, and Cairo Metro Line 4 tender support. As an architect and PMP®/PfMP®-certified program leader, I align architects, engineers, contractors, and executives around disciplined governance, safety, compliance, budgets, and schedules.
