I improve technical project delivery, compliance, and operations through GIS/CAD analysis, data, and cross-functional coordination.
What I'm looking for
I'm currently supporting GIS/CAD-enabled technical projects at Ethos / Handshake, using data analysis, quality control, documentation, and project coordination to improve delivery and operational efficiency.
At Tesla, I coordinate environmental and safety programs, incident investigations, risk assessments, training, and compliance workflows. My sustainability work contributed to a 25% reduction in carbon footprint, while structured tracking improved inventory management.
Across SESI, Haley & Aldrich, NJIT, and the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection, I've led consulting, research, compliance, reporting, and process-improvement work—achieving 100% regulatory compliance and zero fines while translating technical information into actionable business outcomes.
