What I'm looking for

I seek engineering roles where I can design and supervise resilient, sustainable infrastructure; value hands-on site work, technical rigor, and community-focused impact.

I am a Civil and Structural Engineer with extensive experience in design, detailing, and construction supervision across infrastructure and humanitarian projects. Since 2015 I have worked on bridge design, low-volume road monitoring, steel workshop and cafeteria projects, and WFP facilities in multiple counties.

My work blends technical proficiency in AutoCAD, Revit, and Civil 3D with rigorous structural analysis and precise calculations to deliver safe, code-compliant, and energy-efficient designs. I have overseen environmental and social impact studies, construction supervision, and project monitoring under programs such as AfCAP and engagements with WFP.

I am committed to designing sustainable, resilient structures that improve community resilience and functionality, and I bring hands-on site inspection and project management experience to ensure designs are executed to specification and safety standards.
