At The Blackwell Grp, LLC, I prepared more than 30 grading and stormwater management plan sets, with over 25 approved by reviewing jurisdictions. My work included VRRM calculations, detention sizing, and grading plans for residential, infill, and commercial sites across Virginia, Maryland, and Washington, DC.

At Build Up Nepal, I delivered three CSEB buildings from procurement through handover and trained engineers, government staff, and masons in CSEB construction. Earlier, at the Nepal Reconstruction Authority, I inspected and certified more than 3,000 houses for Nepal Building Code compliance.
