What I'm looking for

I seek a role where I can apply engineering automation and Civil/Structural design expertise, lead technical teams, and drive innovation in project delivery.

I am a Civil/Structural Engineer (E.I.T.) with a strong emphasis on engineering automation, civil design, and structural analysis.

I have led development of Civil 3D templates, pioneered proprietary engineering solutions, and used tools such as AutoCAD Civil 3D, Dynamo, Revit, and Risa3D to streamline workflows and increase project efficiency.

My experience spans water/wastewater systems, roadway and storm sewer design, site grading, and structural analysis across multidisciplinary teams; I have managed projects from concept through construction while mentoring junior staff.

I seek roles that leverage my technical expertise and leadership in engineering technology development to drive innovation and deliver high-quality project outcomes.
