What I'm looking for

I am seeking project engineering or estimating roles where I can manage procurement, optimize schedules, and drive cost-effective construction outcomes.

I am a project engineer with experience managing multimillion-dollar construction projects, estimating costs, and coordinating procurement and labor. I focus on ensuring contracts and specifications are met while keeping projects on schedule and within budget.

At Blois Construction LLC I support two projects valued over $10,000,000 each, handling material procurement, daily cost updates, and weekly scheduling across the project lifecycle. My estimating internship at Bernards Brothers strengthened my takeoff and pricing skills using PlanSwift and regular engagement with hundreds of subcontractors.

Earlier roles honed my operational and organizational abilities: I engineered a scheduling system as an AVID tutor that reduced conflicts by 25% and increased tutoring efficiency, and improved order fulfillment and delivery accuracy as a delivery driver.

I hold a B.S. in Engineering Management and led the Automated Robotic Assistant (A.R.A) senior project that boosted small-shop part production by over 200% and won first place in CSUN's 2025 Senior Project Design Showcase. I bring practical technical skills and a results-driven approach to construction and manufacturing environments.
