What I'm looking for

I seek remote or relocation-ready roles applying AI to engineering or infrastructure, with hands-on responsibilities, technical leadership, and opportunities to build intelligent systems and scalable automation.

I am an environmental engineer (BSc) with extensive field and design experience and a strong focus on applied artificial intelligence.

I have worked across municipal and environmental engineering roles including subdivision design, pump house, road and pipe design, quality control and field leadership on municipal projects.

I taught AI for five years, developed chat-bot and voice-recognition capabilities and trained systems from an early baseline to a much higher operational capability using automated command and pattern-based approaches.

I also bring hands-on construction experience in roofing and masonry, plus practical skills in web design, C++, Java, HTML/CSS and partial business and real-estate training; I prefer remote work unless onsite residence is provided.
